Western countries have unleashed a series of heavy sanctions aimed at crippling Russia's financial sector in response to its assault on Ukraine. We discuss the impact this has had on Russia's overall economy and whether its linkages with China can provide a buffer with Swedish economist Anders Aslund. Aslund is a Senior Fellow at the Stockholm World Forum and an Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University. Image Credit: Pixabay.com
