Russia's tech brain drain

Available for over a year

The EU have announced nearly $12 billion of sanctions aimed at weakening Moscow’s ability to maintain its “war machine” through trade bans and technology export controls. We find out what impact sanctions are already having on Russia, and how they are causing young tech workers to leave the country. We hear from a former senior economic advisor in Barack Obama's administration, about President Joe Biden's appointment of Lael Brainard, vice-chair of the US Federal Reserve, as his top economic advisor. And as the first UN aid convoy arrives in Syria, we get reaction from the country as anger grows over the lack of support so far.
