Sanctions: Opportunity in Disguise - RT Documentaries
Since the beginning of Russia’s special operation in Ukraine, the country has been subjected to thousands of sanctions from Europe and the US. With international banking transactions suspended and supply chains disrupted, Russian businesses had to regroup and look for new ways to keep functioning. Many succeeded in finding new ways to organise their operations; some even saw sanctions as a blessing in disguise since they helped become less dependent on foreign resources and technology.
Some companies had the experience of surviving a crisis. A footwear production company in Dagestan survived 2008 and 2014 and even expanded its operations. So did another company, a dairy in the city of Vladimir owned by a British farmer John Kapiski. In 2014, when many foreign dairy exports were banned, they managed to open a cheese-making facility and produce 40 types of cheese, butter and yoghurt.

Italian political analyst Angelo Giuliano explains the way Zelensky is not in a position to act on his own initiative. One the one side - there are the extreme far right nationalists (Azov, Aidar etc) who could assassinate him for any concessions to Russia.

This job isn't worth his fortune, in my view.
