The impact of oil sanctions on Russia is limited compared to the severe repercussions they have on the global economy and other countries’ abilities to achieve energy security and transition.
A G-7 strategy to cap Russia’s oil prices and continue to weaken that economy is intended to halt the war in Ukraine. Could it work?
