Brazil, China and other trading partners have not signed onto any or all of the sanctions. The sanctions are still hurting the Russian people, but there haven't been signs yet that it has hurt the government.
- gpm 5y agoI am pretty sure that the government loudly objecting to them, going so far as to call them an act of war, is a sign that they are hurting the government. We're yet too see how much. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/05/defiant-putin-warns-the-west-your-sanctions-are-akin-to-an-act-of-war https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/05/defiant-putin-...
