Restrictive measures are directed primarily against the banking sector and the supply of high-tech products. Many countries have announced the freezing of Russian assets. The Kremlin called these measures an economic war, the likes of which have never been seen before. As President Vladimir Putin noted, sanctions have dealt a serious blow to the entire global economy, and the main goal of the West is to worsen the lives of millions of people. According to him, current events draw a line under the global dominance of the West in both politics and the economy.
