Talk:International sanctions during the Russo-Ukrainian War/Archive 1

aggression, and therefore the impression from reading the article should be in the same key. What is factual is a violent coup led by ultra-nationalists which violated the constitution; then Crimeans (who are mostly Russian) organized against the takeover by ultra-nationalists; they were protected by soldiers who were stationed there (which did not exceed the allowable number of Russian contingent), thereby allowing people to express their opinion - democratically - in peace, despite various provocations from ultra-nationalists; then Russian government united Crimean autonomous region with Russia. And the war in Donbas is in nothing more than shelling by Kiev of residential areas, where Russian speaking majority rejected the illegal coup and the new government. That is the reality for Donbas residents. More than 10,000 people have been killed by the indiscriminate shelling of residential areas. And there is no Russian military...otherwise we would see satellite imagery and all sorts of evidence from the US. Knowledge (XXG) needs to clean up its act...otherwise it's just a propaganda channel.

586:, I tend to go with VM's appraisal of this being CHERRY. It's being forced into the article in order to resuscitate the controversy. No artificial resuscitation, please. There probably should be an umbrella article for the various sanctions, but it needs to be written. Frankly, I'm surprised that no one has made any form of attempt to create such an article... possibly/probably because most editors are focussed on the Trump stuff. When/if an umbrella article is created, there's plenty of fodder for content provided that it doesn't contravene NOR or RECENTISM. -- 767:

event known as that encompasses actually encompasses a series of events now all but forgotten in the public eye (or mixed in with subsequent events). In that sense, it documents a period in history which triggered off an escalated RF profile in other areas of the world and, consequently, an escalation of anti-RF sentiment and rounds of sanctions, so I would favour an umbrella article as a venue in which to explore the bigger picture (more like the

sanctions, but much less about those many who have argued for sanctions. There should be a balance here. After all, the sanctions are still in place, and have only expanded. None have been removed. It would be interesting to know why this is after all so, despite the criticism noted in the article. The pro-sanctions side has also been quite active explaining why they're in place´and upheld, after all.

2484:). The map fails to reflect that further countries have since 2014 issued sanctions, but which are not pictured. As such, I have removed the map pending our ability to correct it so as to not be factually misleading. If you would prefer to see the map reinstated, please feel free to have a discussion here so we can seek consensus as to whether or not it is helpful to include it in the article lede. 1913: 1780: 1961: 1730: 319: 685:). Hmm, perhaps we should start a section on reactions from various leaders who think that the sanctions are a terrific idea and would have/would like to have seen far more than just a few punitive measures implemented and feature their opinions (i.e., emblazon them across the article)? Would you consider that DUE? -- 550:

You'd need RS to qualify this 'bunch'. Other than the one article, all I've seen is reactions to various sanctions against the RF, not over the Crimean sanctions specifically. As I expressed earlier, an article specifically on the recent rounds of sanctions against the RF may be deemed an appropriate

2019:

The current intro text is erroneously including China among the list of countries that have formally announced sanctions against Russia. It has not. Two state banks have placed financing for Russian commodities on hold and under review during the conflict period, but this risk assessment process has

Your response is limited to only one mentioned error, and it makes no sense. It also proves that you're biased, and that your opinion, whether by design or not, is formed based on false perceptions and limited information. You can write a blog, if you like, but Knowledge (XXG) is allegedly operating

970:

there has been far more in the way of information about the sanctions and why they've been put in place. The fact that a few articles can be found discussing criticisms (which, in themselves, have for more complex political and economic rationales behind them than are represented here) strikes me as

218:

Indeed, it's extremely frustrating. There are so many articles talking 'sanctions, sanctions, sanctions'; documentation describing forms of sanctions; individuals sanctioned... but I'm having difficulty finding any information regarding actual companies/corporations/businesses being sanctioned, much

1033:

The article is biased against Russia. If Knowledge (XXG) is to provide a balanced take on things, then it should be based on facts - not opinion. Statement about "annexation", "aggression", and so forth are regurgitation of a political narrative against Russia. There is no evidence of annexation or

766:

Well, it was a kinda-sorta joke. It's fairly standard for articles of this nature to present a broader overview as to international reactions. If the section is added, it needs to be kept to major responses. With regards it being an ongoing issue, the title is 'during the Ukrainian crisis', and the

1335:

There are so many sanctions from so many different countries at this point, I think it would be useful to have a table specifying when the sanctions started, when they end (if applicable), brief details on what the sanctions are, and the country (or countries) which imposed the sanction. Do other

Sure, it would be fine to show that some uninvolved world leaders still profess strong support for the sanctions three years after their initial implementation. Do you have sources for this? On the other hand, dissenting voices have grown, not so much politically but rather economically, and this

given his position, and that the statement is explicitly about the prolongation of the sanctions imposed as the result of RF intervention in Ukraine. Ultimately, with all of the recent rounds of sanctions on the RF for various reasons, I still think that an umbrella article would better serve the

946:

Another problem with the article is it's balance. Right now it consists mainly of a list of dates and a section on criticism, but quite little about why the sanctions were put in place and, crucially, upheld. The article reports on Western politicians and business leaders who have criticised the

756:

Oh, you were only joking about adding a review of current support for sanctions? Fine, although I thought that was a useful suggestion. I don't think the article should be considered "historical documentation" yet. We will reach that point if/when the Ukrainian crisis is resolved; hopefully that

728:

This still leads us back to creating a tie-in article. The unrest over sanctions is essentially a cumulative effect over the duration and multiple rounds of sanctions over more than just the Ukrainian crisis. I do think that this particular article has reached a standstill serving as historical

709:

I agree with JFG. Before discussing whether we should include opinions in favor of sanctions we need to determine whether there are sources that summarize pro-sanctions sentiment in EU, like there are for anti-sanctions sentiment. And disdain over sanctions was really growing since autumn 2014,

Initially, I noticed that the article mentions that South Korea and Taiwan have also enacted sanctions, but these countries were not coloured green on the map that appears at the beginning of the article. Upon inspection, this is because the current map lists only the countries who implemented

2020:

nothing to do with punitive sanctions being put in place against a government. The current text ignores all nuance and simply states various countries "including China" have sanctioned Putin and other members of his government, and cut off Russia from SWIFT, while China has done no such thing.

at the least. Please read the discussions above regarding the content of the article. The Bow Group is not a significant international entity, nor is an article conflating sanctions specifically targetting the RF over the Ukrainian crisis with the new rounds of punitive actions over the 2016

540:

A bunch of Italian, German and French politicians have also expressed discomfort with the ever-prolonged sanctions. The French Parliament even voted to cancel them but the country can't do that unilaterally. So, yes, criticism of sanctions from various European countries is DUE. —

399:. There is already a synthy addendum regarding the 2017 rounds of sanctions in that section. If anything, the 2017 sanctions should be either a spin-off article or a stand alone article. The article is not intended as an exhaustive list of complaints about the sanctions. -- 2078:

It seems pretty obvious to me that the average reader will interpret the country map to be a current one updated as of 2022, as opposed to one from eight years ago. Is there a map we could replace it with that has the most recently updated countries deploying sanctions?

680:

It isn't a matter of better or worse, more or less 'important', etc. It's a matter of digging around to find more complaints about economic impact (not whether it is considered deserved) to pad out the section every time there's a mention anywhere (see

Zara, the fashion outlet suspended trading. Does that mean they won't be shipping more stock to the shops in Russia, so shops in Russia are still selling Zara outfits, or does that mean the Zara shops have shut their doors?

It is getting confused and difficult to keep track of which "Western" companies had done what with Russia as there is no clear listing with short but clear details on what kind of sanction they have done. For example...

Maybe make it more easier by splitting the list or tables into groups, for example, a table for shops, productions, services, and exports. Another table for banking and similar. And another tablet for oil, fuel, gas.

If you consult the archives, multiple users on this talk page have expressed concern about using the misleading 2014 sanctions map, which provides an illustration of countries that levied sanctions against Russia

877:- specifically, not a catch-all because no one wants to write a spin-off article on sanctions against the RF over the last few years. Everything stated in the section above still stands. The fact that an editor 1811:

I rephrased the exclusion from SWIFT in the lead; I didn't change the part on China, though, because two state banks have limited financing to purchase Russian raw materials, operating de-facto sanctions

I heard that Samsung had stopped shipping new smartphones to Russia, but according to news, whatever stock of Samsung smartphones is still in stock, will continue to sell until they've ran out of stock.

Something like that. I would like to see at a quick glare which companies jumped on the bandwagon of suspending or withdrawing services, is it total or partial suspend, and any notes.

These are details which anyone can add to the article. Articles like this are always going to be slightly behind the latest news and there's no need for a tag.

Something like that would be helpful in finding out quickly, rather than reading news websites to see if this and that shop or company had done this or that.
