Russian Sanctions with Sarah Hunt

In a deglobalizing and volatile world, sanctions can upend commodity markets overnight. Commodities underpin global trade and are often themselves direct targets of sanctions or swept up in restrictions imposed on trade infrastructure, such as finance and shipping. In this episode, we do a deep dive on the suite of Russian sanctions imposed since the invasion of Ukraine. How do sanctions work? How are they imposed and by whom? What are the specific Russia related sanctions and what are their consequences for the commodities sector? How should companies prepare for and manage them? Speaking to Paul Chapman, our guest is Sarah Hunt, Commodity Trade and Sanctions Specialist Lawyer at HFW.
