Sanctions on Russia slow to bite as experts call for tougher “package” to end Putin's war


When the fighting is done, vast sums of money will be needed in the future for reparations to rebuild Ukraine and to help ensure its long-term security. So who will pay for that?

RUSSIA-Central Bank

Can Russia be forced to pay for the cost of the war in Ukraine with frozen assets?

With a total of 9,655 sanctions against it, Russia is now the most sanctioned country in the world, ahead of Iran. Of these, 6,901 have been imposed since February. But the high price of oil and gas, ironically a result of the war, is fueling Vladimir Putin's war machine. (

After 50 days of the war in Ukraine, are the Russia sanctions having any effect?

The war in Ukraine is entering a new phase focused on the east of the country that could determine the outcome of the Russian invasion ordered by President Vladimir Putin. While Russia's war machine still has enormous combat power, it has suffered heavy losses in men and equipment, experts say.

For several years, the Ukrainian armed forces conducted training with U.S. Army instructors at the International Peacekeeping Security Centre near Yavoriv in eastern Ukraine. The base was shelled by Russia on 13 March, killing at least 35 people, although there were no U.S. trainers there as they were withdrawn at the end of February. The Ukrainian Air Force also established a special relationship with the California National Guard.

The US and its European allies are sending hundreds of millions of dollars in weapons to help Ukraine defend itself against invading Russian forces, including surface-to-air and anti-tank missiles, as well as armed drones.

Some of Hurricane Irma’s most startling images came out of Florida: millions of cars fleeing north to escape the storm; the streets of Miami's financial district, Brickell, turned into rivers; destruction in the Keys. Some 50 to 75 people died across the state as a result of Irma.

Irma affected 13 of Cuba’s 15 provinces and left a dozen dead. It also exposed the island’s Achilles’ heel: ageing and fragile housing. Every storm makes thousands of already deteriorating homes even more vulnerable to collapse. Some on the island want to know how they can build more resistant homes without a wealth of materials and in spite of bureaucratic red tape.

Hurricane Maria left a path of death and destruction in Puerto Rico. At least 64 people died because of the storm, according to official statistics, though independent investigations suggest that number could be as high as 1,000. It also initiated a new exodus of Puerto Ricans to the United States. With a U.S. passport in hand, tens of thousands of Puerto Ricans showed up to airports and ports around the island with the intention of leaving, uncertain how long they’d be gone. Would it be temporary or permanent? Only time would tell. But many of those who stayed did so to help the country get back on its feet. These are some of their stories.
