Settele interviewed for WMTW about impact of US sanctions on Russia
Jim Settele, director and graduate coordinator of the School of Policy & International Affairs, was interviewed by WMTW (Channel 8, Portland) about the U.S. sanctions on Russia. Settele said that the sanctions are “the most significant” of their kind in modern history. “They’re impactful on people in the country. The ruble has crashed. They can’t do certain things in the country they want to. They are having difficulty supporting their military in certain places,” Settele said. He expects the fighting to continue for months and for the outcome to have major ramifications for the future of Europe and the globe.
