Special Edition - this episode being released outside the usual combination of podcast and monthly EU Finance Newsletter. It’s also special, because there’s been a massive uptick in Russian disinformation regarding sanctions, and the truth is needed to combat that as soon as possible. The latest false Russian narrative is that sanctions are not working. Article after article gets pushed to world media. Russian proxies and populist politicians parrot the same line.  Why? Podcast host Aidas Palubinskas talks with EU Sanctions Envoy David O’Sullivan to shed some light on the subject. Spoiler Alert! It’s because sanctions ARE indeed working.   EU Finance Newsletter: https://commission.europa.eu/about-european-commission/departments-and-executive-agencies/financial-stability-financial-services-and-capital-markets-union/finance-newsletter_en [https://commission.europa.eu/about-european-commission/departments-and-executive-agencies/financial-stability-financial-services-and-capital-markets-union/finance-newsletter_en] EUvsDisinfo: https://euvsdisinfo.eu/ [https://euvsdisinfo.eu/]
