Relaţia UE-Federaţia Rusă: consecinţele sancţiunilor reciproce
EU-Russian relationship: the consequences of mutual sanctions

Summary/Abstract: After the beginning of the Ukrainian crisis, Russian Federation faced a series of international sanctions aimed to change its policy toward Ukraine. Two years after this major international event, our research proposes to present the impact on Russian economy and on the EU-Russian Federation relationship(in terms of trade, FDI and capital outflows) and to critical evaluate the effectiveness of such sanctions. Our assessment will take into consideration the main approaches from the literature in the field (sanctions theory),also highlighting the appropriateness of such measures against Russian Federation in the current geopolitical framework. Our analysis will base its assumptions on factors such as the depreciation of the rouble and the weakened trade between Russian Federation and European Union. Considering the international economic climate, our research will highlight to what extent the mutual sanctions must be prolonged, scrutinizing if the involved parties need to consider some exit strategies, in order to minimize the risks for all them.
