Western allies have continued to use sanctions against Russia in a bid to target their economy amid a bloody war.
Vladimir Putin's troops began the invasion of Ukraine last week, causing global condemnation, as well as scores of Ukrainians killed and mass migration west towards Poland and Romania.
Short of joining the fight against Russia - such an act would lead to massive escalation and a likely world war - NATO countries and partner states have resorted to sanctions to try and hit the Russian economy while its fighters attempt to win their battles in Ukraine.
