Follow the Money (with Dr. Anders Åslund)

Giselle, Dalibor, and Iulia are joined by Dr. Anders Åslund, a leading specialist on economic policy in Russia, Ukraine, and Eastern Europe. Dr. Åslund discusses sanctions that are both succeeding and failing against Russia and offers his take on the differences between Anglo-American and European Union sanction regimes. Furthermore, he provides suggestions for actions Western countries can take against Russia, including implementing a no-fly-zone over Ukraine and sending the U.S. Navy to defend Ukrainian shipping in the Black Sea. Dr. Åslund also analyzes how the unique histories and interests of various European governments, particularly Germany, have shaped their response to the Russia-Ukraine war.
