Will Latest Russian Sanctions Finally Break Putin's Resolve?

New restrictions have been imposed on Russia, targeting its two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, as well as over 30 subsidiaries.

According to Sky News, these sanctions are a "punch to the gut of Moscow's war economy" and target the "economic equivalent of Russia's crown jewels".

They're "no slap on the wrist" because oil is "Russia's bloodstream", and Trump "just cut off the blood flow"

These measures were introduced by Donald Trump in response to Vladimir Putin's "lack of serious commitment to a peace process to end the war in Ukraine".

The sanctions are seen as a significant blow to Russia's economy, with oil being a crucial component.
