    The Spin


    Establishment-critical narrative

    Pro-establishment narrative

    These sanctions will take fresh aim at the Russian economy, including targeting gold which is Russia's top export after energy. The seventh package of sanctions will inflict signficant damage on the Russian elite and economy, working to close loopholes and strengthen compliance with pre-existing restrictions.
