The ongoing invasion of Ukraine has been a catastrophic ordeal for the country and its citizens – as well as the financial consequences for all those impacted by the Western sanctions. But, this has also presented a huge opportunity for nations and white-collar professionals willing to grease the wheels and help Russia evade sanctions in return for cash money! 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.
