‘An economy that is hemorrhaging’Western sanctions have not delivered a deathblow to the Russian economy.
Some, including economist Larry Summers, argue that economic penalties on Russia haven’t bitten as hard as anticipated because not enough countries have imposed sanctions.
Others, like Yale professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, say sanctions are “working tremendously” well against Russia.
Petraeus praised the Treasury Department’s “very impressive” sanctions campaign, led by Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo.
But the former CIA chief noted the complexity involved in modern sanctions, where target countries often find ways to evade restrictions.
