Overall Score

Details

C+

Partially Done

The EU has made significant progress in sanctioning Russian oligarchs and kleptocrats as well as countering Russian disinformation, but it has more to do to support Ukrainian militarily and replace Russian oil and gas.

Condemnation

On Track

Military Support

Partially Done

Providing military support for Ukraine, composed of four key categories:

  • Ground Forces Support (e.g. small arms, defensive equipment, anti-tank)
  • Air Defense Support
  • Communications Support
  • Cyber Intelligence Support

Financial & Institutional Sanctions

Partially Done

Identifying sanctions impacting the Russian economy as a whole, including banks, sovereign debt, industry, access to global markets, etc.


Sanctions on Oligarchs, Kleptocrats, & Western Enablers

On Track

Sanctions on individuals in Putin's inner circle including:

  • exposing & seizing their assets
  • revoking their visas
  • holding them legally accountable where possible

The goal is to convince these individuals that their futures would be better without Putin than with him.


Diplomatic Isolation

Not Yet Done

Measures taken to isolate Russia diplomatically (e.g. recall of ambassadors & diplomats, stripping Russia of its G20 membership, etc)


Propaganda

Partially Done

Combatting Putin's global propaganda network. While respecting freedom of speech, Putin should not be allowed to spread disinformation while Russia bans every single independent outlet. This measures countries' success in curbing Russian disinformation spread through Russia Today and other platforms.


Replace Russian Energy

Not Yet Done

Replacing Russian energy exports with alternative energy sources. That includes increasing production and opening new sources from fracking to nuclear to renewables.
