Our expert host, Robin Lycka, is joined by Erica Marat , Professor at the College of International Security Affairs , to discuss: which economies are booming due to Western sanctions on Russia? The pair discuss: how sanctions evasion is happening right now, the appeal for nations taking part, and what can be done to tackle this issue.
