On February 24th, 2022, Russia launched its brutal full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In response, the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, and other allies imposed unprecedented sanctions across energy, trade, and financial sectors. While economic sanctions have long been a part of foreign policy, never before have such sweeping and coordinated measures been deployed against a country so deeply integrated into the global economy. 

Since then, a vast and growing body of research has emerged—exploring the design, implementation, and impact of sanctions from multiple angles: energy markets, export controls, financial flows, effects on the Russian economy, and consequences for the sanctioning countries themselves. This project aims to bring it all together. 

We are building a central hub to collect, organize, and share insights, data, and analysis on the evolving landscape of sanctions against Russia—supporting researchers, journalists, and policymakers with accessible, high-quality resources in one place.
