Episode notes

The west has already hit russia with some sanctions, and more will definitely be on the way now that russia has invaded ukraine. Could sanctions affect the broader global economy? I don't think so. That wudwill ultimately be knocking about nort point two % of european growth this year. People can make alternative arrangements, gng to cut back. All big threats to the upen economy, but it's not sort of catastrophic.

The FT’s Max Seddon, reports from Moscow about Vladimir Putin’s order to launch a full-scale invasion into Ukraine, and the FT’s economics editor, Chris Giles, explains what a Russian invasion might do to the global economy.
