BERLIN / LONDON (IT BOLTWISE) – The recently announced US sanctions against Russia are seen by experts as a symbolic act. Despite the Trump administration’s willingness to take action, the sanctions remain largely ineffective. Russian oil companies could continue to circumvent Western sanctions, while major buyers China and India are not sufficiently targeted.

The announcement of new US sanctions against Russia has provoked mixed reactions in the international community. While some observers see the measures as a sign of the Trump administration’s resolve, others criticize the sanctions as inadequate and symbolic. The sanctions are aimed at weakening Russia’s influence on the global stage, but the actual effectiveness of these measures remains questionable.
A central point of criticism is that the sanctions do not sufficiently affect the large Russian oil companies. These companies have found ways to circumvent Western sanctions in the past, and there is little sign that this will change. According to experts, the US administration could have taken tougher measures to really hit the Russian economy, for example through targeted sanctions against major buyers of Russian raw materials such as China and India.
The geopolitical implications of these sanctions are also important. The US is trying to maintain its position as a global leader while Russia pursues its own interests in the region. The sanctions could be seen as part of a larger strategy to curb Russia’s influence in Eastern Europe and beyond. But without the support of other major economic powers, these efforts could come to nothing.
In the past, sanctions against Russia have had limited success. The Russian economy has proven resilient and the government has taken measures to mitigate the impact of international sanctions. This raises the question of whether the current sanctions can actually exert the desired pressure on Russia or whether they simply send a political signal.
The future of US-Russia relations remains uncertain. While the sanctions are a sign of US willingness to take action against Russia, their limited impact could further escalate tensions between the two countries. It remains to be seen whether the US will be able to develop a more effective strategy to achieve its geopolitical goals.
