BBC World Service - World Business Report, Russia's tech brain drain

We hear how sanctions are causing young people to leave Russia.

As the EU announces nearly $12 billion of sanctions aimed at weakening Moscow’s “war machine”, we hear how young tech workers are leaving the country for work elsewhere.

The EU have announced nearly $12 billion of sanctions aimed at weakening Moscow’s ability to maintain its “war machine” through trade bans and technology export controls. We find out what impact sanctions are already having on Russia, and how they are causing young tech workers to leave the country.

We hear from a former senior economic advisor in Barack Obama's administration, about President Joe Biden's appointment of Lael Brainard, vice-chair of the US Federal Reserve, as his top economic advisor.
