Short episodes are released at the same time as the monthly EU Commission Finance Newsletter on topics related to banks, capital markets, insurance, digital or sustainable finance, anti-money laundering, sanctions, etc. The host of the podcast is not an expert, so tries to get the topics explained as simply as possible. The views expressed are those of the participants and not necessarily those of the EU Commission.

episode 15: Special Edition – The One About How Sanctions Are Indeed Working
Special Edition - this episode being released outside the usual combination of podcast and monthly EU Finance Newsletter. It’s also special, because there’s been a massive uptick in Russian disinformation regarding sanctions, and the truth is needed to combat that as soon as possible.
The latest false Russian narrative is that sanctions are not working. Article after article gets pushed to world media. Russian proxies and populist politicians parrot the same line. Why? Podcast host Aidas Palubinskas talks with EU Sanctions Envoy David O’Sullivan to shed some light on the subject. Spoiler Alert! It’s because sanctions ARE indeed working.
