Episode notes

West sanctions 351 members of the russian parliament. 27 individuals and entities linked to actions that have undermined ukraine's sovereignty. This first wave is targeted, not particularly economically damaging. But it's a sign that there is unity across the west in standing up to this.

Western powers impose sanctions on Russia as Biden says Ukraine ‘invasion’ has begun, and Russian assets are set to bear the brunt of the Ukraine conflict. Plus, the FT’s Berlin bureau chief, Guy Chazan, explains what freezing the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project means for Germany.
