Russian Coal Embargo. How to Expand Economic Sanctions?

April 06, 2022

One of the “symbols” of the sanctions affecting the Russian economy is the sharp decline in the cost of real estate rent in Moscow — in just one month, it fell by an average of 14% due to a sharp drop in demand. This once again confirms the fact that in Russia, commercial activities are curtailing gradually.

However, the scale of complete closure of companies (so far, 175 companies have announced their withdrawal from Russia) is insufficient for making irreversible impact on the enemy’s economy, as one-third of these businesses work in consulting and information technology.
