Democratic Security
Nawrocki Is Crouching for the 2027 Interregnum
10 August 2026
As various economic hardships collide with the cost of living crisis, doubtful voices are starting to emerge on the effectiveness of sanctions against Russia. They should not be listened to as the sanctions are having a tremendous impact on Russia’s ability to wage war against Ukraine.
One of the principal ideas behind sanctions against Russia is to halt its technical progress, roll back the Kremlin’s military industry and leave Moscow short on high-precision long-range arms (such as ballistic and cruise missiles, fighters, helicopters, etc.). While it may take years to undermine industrial high-tech capabilities, including in the military field, the aim of these sanctions is noble and results may impede Russian military strength in the decades to come.
So far, the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the EU have designated Russia’s biggest technical giants – like State Corporation Rostec, JSC Mikron, JSC Tactical Missiles Corporation, Uralvagonzavod, including a number of intermediaries and low-level actors – as subject to sanctions. Sectoral sanctions are in force against the Russian electronics, aerospace, marine and computing systems fields. And this is not to mention a military embargo against Russia which has been in force since 2014.
