Sanctions
Tom Keatinge, head of the financial security department of the Royal Institute for Defence and Security Studies (RUSI) in the United Kingdom, gave an interview to the Sankei Shimbun about sanctions against Russia for invading Ukraine. Mr. Keatinge pointed out that there is still a lot of work to be done, such as expanding sanctions on third-country companies doing business with Russia (secondary sanctions). He expressed strong concern about military cooperation between Russia and North Korea, and expressed hope that President-elect Donald Trump, who will take office in the United States on January 20 next year, will make effective use of the sanctions.
