Western countries began to tighten sanctions against Russia and introduce new restrictions from the end of February 2022. Since then, almost all countries that have joined the sanctions have already introduced several sanctions packages. The European Union has become the leader in the speed of introducing new sanctions - ten restrictive packages have already been adopted in the association, the last of which was agreed on February 25. However, Brussels said that they could introduce a new, 11th, package of sanctions as early as April. In Europe and the United States, they say that the new restrictive measures will be aimed primarily at eliminating the possibility of circumventing sanctions.

To date, many of the political leadership of Russia, parliamentarians, hundreds of businessmen, heads of industrial enterprises, in particular the defense industry, journalists, public figures, companies and most of Russian banks are under sanctions.

Vladimir Putin said in February that "the Russian economy and governance system turned out to be much stronger than the West believed," and the restrictions ended up negatively affecting those countries that introduced them. In early April, he also said that sanctions against Russia would be in place for a long time. “We all understand that sanctions, of course, are for a long time, therefore, along with priority measures to replace imported technologies and products, medium and long-term transformations are needed here, aimed at the strategic goals of the country’s sovereign development,” the head of state said.
