The day after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the US, the EU, and the G-7 agreed on far-reaching sanctions against Russia. At the EU Council meeting in the evening, however, differences of opinion also emerged on the scope of the sanctions – on the SWIFT payment system.

Washington is greatly expanding sanctions against the Russian financial sector. The Europeans are somewhat more restrained. However, experts doubt that the measures will have any effect in the short term.

A key component of the new sanctions will be export restrictions on high-tech products. Russia's economy is to be severely hit by the fact that Putin's regime and the state-dominated economic apparatus will lose access to technologies that are hardly indispensable for maintaining operations in the medium term.
