In this episode of Policy Implications, Olha Zadorozhna talks with Julien Daubanes, associate professor at Technical University of Denmark. They discuss how sanctions on Russian oil are designed to reduce the Kremlin’s war revenues, how Russia has adapted by building a so-called “shadow fleet,” and why some sanctions that look tougher on paper may be less effective in practice. The conversation explores which sanction mechanisms hurt Russian oil profits the most and what policymakers in the EU, US, and G7 should prioritize going forward.
