Kremlin Asset Seizures the New Normal

Alexandra Prokopenko focuses on the Kremlin’s decision to seize the Russian assets of two major foreign companies and what it means for the business climate and the other Western businesses who cannot — or will not — leave Russia. She also looks at Friday’s interest rate hike and new Western sanctions on Russia.
