Russia sanctions
Moscow trade restrictions
Russia sanctions refers to economic and political penalties imposed on Russia by Western nations, particularly following the 2014 annexation of Crimea and escalating dramatically after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
These measures include asset freezes, trade restrictions, and bans on Russian banks, oligarchs, and key industries: Russia sanctions have reshaped global energy markets.
The phrase typically means sanctions *against* Russia, though Russia has imposed retaliatory measures of its own.
