    For right now I do not see any "sanctions" since, I believe, officially guys from government (Duma, Sovet Federatsii, and many other high rank officials) are not allowed to have foreign property and bank accounts in foreign banks. Or that law did not pass? I though, it passed last year.

    Which is pretty funny.

    They imposed EU-wide sanctions against 21 Russian and Ukrainian officials linked to "unrest" in Crimea; those sanctions will last for 6 months. Напугали ежа голой попой, pardon my French.

    Aren't they sly? Russophobic aggression in occupied Kiev hits the highest level at the end of February/Winter. They then impose sanctions in March... 6 months... Autumn... The colder it gets, the "warmer" they become lol

    => I don't think they want to freeze.

    Russia will ride it out and Crimea will fade from the media's attention. Job done.

    Lets see what they have. This day sanctions hardly can be named as sanctions.

    For some people, the effect will be substantial. It is hoped those are the people who can influence events.
