When #G7 leaders meet tomorrow, increasing pressure on Russia to help speed the end of Putin's invasion of Ukraine should be a top priority. Regarding sanctions, some say nothing more can be done. Our International Working Group on Russian Sanctions disagrees. THREAD 1/

On how to strengthen financial sanctions, read our "Working Group Paper #4: Strengthening Financial Sanctions against the Russian Federation," drive.google.com/file/d/1_0wsGm…. 2/

On how to strengthen individual sanctions, read our "Working Group Paper #3: Individual Sanctions Roadmap: Recommendations for Sanctions against
the Russian Federation." drive.google.com/file/d/1NzzeTa… 3/

On how to strengthen energy sanctions, read our "Working Group Paper #2: Energy Sanctions Roadmap: Recommendations for Sanctions against
the Russian Federation." drive.google.com/file/d/1FP3R-j… 4/

And on our new ideas for strengthening sanctions along many dimensions, see our original paper, "Working Group Paper #1: Action Plan on Strengthening Sanctions against the Russian Federation." drive.google.com/file/d/1Kte4W9… 5/

And dont believe the Russian propaganda. Sanctions are not damaging the global economy. Putin's war is. For elaboration, read this: drive.google.com/file/d/1iQi69X… 6/

The #G7 summit takes place at a pivotal moment in the war in Ukraine. The free world must help stop Putin's invasion of democratic Ukraine. Sanctions remain an important tool to achieve this objective, G7 leaders, lead, do the right thing, and help stop this barbaric war. 7/ END.
