Despite the imposition of Western sanctions aimed at crippling Russia's economy due to its invasion of Ukraine, the country's economy has shown remarkable resilience. Key sectors, particularly the oil and gas industry, continue to support the Kremlin's efforts in the ongoing conflict, now in its third year. However, the sanctions have had some impact, notably on Russia's Arctic gas ambitions, where projects like Arctic LNG 2 face significant operational challenges. The sanctions, including those targeting the financial sector and specific industries like aerospace, have forced Russia to adapt, but have not brought the economy to a standstill. This adaptation includes measures to maintain the flow of crude oil and manage financial transactions despite restrictions, with a US crackdown on banks significantly affecting financial flows. Additionally, Boeing has encountered production difficulties due to the sanctions.
