Sanctions Against Russia: The Unforeseen Consequences

As we entered 2022, there was a sense of optimism surrounding the impact of sanctions on Russia’s economy. However, recent developments have shown that these predictions have not materialized as expected. An article in The Economist sheds light on the reasons behind this surprising outcome.

One striking example highlighted in the article is the surge in electrical machinery exports from Kazakhstan to Russia post the Ukraine invasion. Prior to this event, Kazakhstan’s exports in this sector were minimal, but they saw a more than 7-fold increase afterward. What’s interesting is that during the same period, Kazakh imports of electrical machinery from the EU also witnessed a significant rise. This indicates that Russia was using Kazakhstan as a conduit to bypass sanctions.

European policymakers are facing a dilemma with this revelation. Despite anticipating some level of leakage, the extent to which sanctions have been circumvented is alarming. The EU has imposed restrictions on firms in Armenia and Uzbekistan, but the effectiveness of these measures is questionable as companies find ways to evade them by operating through intermediaries in other countries.

A similar pattern emerges when countries attempt to diversify their supply chains. For instance, the US imposed tariffs on Chinese imports to reduce dependence on their economy, leading to a spike in imports from neighboring countries like Vietnam. Interestingly, Vietnamese imports from China also increased concurrently, showcasing the interconnected nature of global trade.

It’s essential to recognize that while sanctions can have some impact on a target country, they are not foolproof. The leakage and evasion tactics employed by sanctioned entities highlight the challenges in enforcing such measures effectively.

PS. Another pertinent example was brought to light in a recent tweet:

Interestingly, the American media seems to blame China rather than Germany for aiding Russia’s war efforts, showcasing the complex dynamics at play in global geopolitics.
