History

Historical Context

In March 2014 the United States and the European Union imposed their widest-range sanctions since the Soviet collapse, freezing assets of dozens of Russian defence firms and prompting $70 billion of capital outflows. The measures aimed to isolate Moscow after its annexation of Crimea. Now, after the July 6 2026 Kyiv missile strike, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas urges comparable sanctions, tying them to the NATO aid package.
