I have got many questions abt policymaker logic behind #Russia #sanctions, their impact on Russia, EU, global finance, & the economy

Their scope, potential 4 evasion, deterrence, potential long-term impact & possible next steps.

When #Russia attacked, policymakers faced a hard choice. What could we do to deter and dissuade #Putin short of a risky military confrontation between nuclear powers?

We primarily had large financial sanctions that front loaded the pain, ideally narrowly targeted towards Putin!
But in authoritarian Russia, where #Putin could potentially command any state-owned, oligarch or private assets for his objectives, any effective sanction could either be large, or be narrow (a few banks, Putin´s assets) but not both.

Sadly, Broad Sanctions = Collateral Damage!
