Ukraine war: Economic fallout

BBC World Service - Business Daily, Ukraine war: Economic fallout

A year since Russia invaded Ukraine, we examine the real state of the Russian economy.

What is the real state of the Russian economy a year after the invasion of Ukraine? Should some of the millions of euros in frozen Russian assets be used to benefit Ukraine?

Nearly a year since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ed Butler examines the real state of the Russian economy. 

Ami Daniel, chief executive of Windward, a maritime data company, tells Ed about the Russian oil tankers transferring millions of tonnes of crude oil between ships to bypass sanctions. 

As the war continues, millions of euros worth of Russian assets remain frozen as a result of sanctions. Urmas Reinsalu, the Estonian foreign minister, tells us about an initiative Estonia is leading to actually seize and exploit some of Russian’s frozen billions for the benefit of Ukraine.
