Russian Sanctions " What It Means To Global Economy"

The #1 response from Russia to the Western sanctions, particularly those imposed after its invasion of Ukraine, has been economic countermeasures aimed at reducing reliance on Western financial systems and fostering economic self-sufficiency.

One of the most prominent aspects of this response has been:

Pivot to the East (Strengthening Ties with Non-Western Countries):
 

Russia has significantly deepened its economic, political, and trade relationships with non-Western countries, particularly China and India, to mitigate the impact of Western sanctions. Russia has:

- Increased energy exports to countries like China and India, redirecting oil and gas that was previously sold to Europe.

- Developed alternative financial systems, such as expanding the use of local currencies (ruble and yuan) in trade, bypassing the U.S. dollar and euro.
 

- Promoted cooperation with BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and other countries willing to continue trade despite sanctions.

This strategy aims to counteract the economic isolation imposed by Western countries and reduce Russia's vulnerability to further sanctions.
