KSE Institute Sanctions Team
Since the beginning of Russia’s full scale war against Ukraine, the KSE Institute team has focused on providing the Ukrainian Government with research-based analytical support on sanctions, damage assessment, food security and recovery.
KSE Institute became part of Yermak-McFaul International Expert Group on Russian Sanctions launched by the President of Ukraine, as well as an intergovernmental group on sanctions against Russia.
Our experts provide the main analytical work for these groups and participate in the development of sanctions and position documents of Ukraine. They are also in dialogue with a number of companies, persuading them to leave Russia even without decisions from their country’s government.
