The Russian military intervention in Ukraine, which began in late February 2014, prompted a number of governments to apply sanctions against individuals, businesses and officials from Russia and Ukraine. Sanctions were approved by the United States, the European Union (EU) and other countries and international organisations. Russia has responded with sanctions against a number of countries, including a total ban on food imports from the EU, United States, Norway, Canada and Australia. The sanctions have contributed to the collapse of the Russian ruble and the 2014–15 Russian financial crisis.〔"(Russia’s rouble crisis poses threat to nine countries relying on remittances )". ''The Guardian''. 18 January 2015.〕 They have also caused economic damage to a number of EU countries, with the total losses estimated at €100 billion.〔"(Russian sanctions to 'cost Europe €100bn' )". ''Newsweek''. 19 June 2015.〕 According to Ukrainian officials, the sanctions forced Russia to change its approach towards Ukraine and undermined the Russian military advances in the region.〔''"When the sanctions regime appeared to cost almost nothing to EU trade volume... together with Ukrainian resistance, it forced Russia to change its approach towards Ukraine... So far, an approach EU unity and strong solidarity with Ukraine, as well as resistance and reforms implementation, has proved to be the most efficient way to stop Russian military advances."'' -- Liubov Nepop, the Head of the Ukrainian Mission to the EU ((source ))〕〔 "... sanctions and heroism of our warriors are the key elements of deterring the Russian aggression" --the president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko ((source ))〕 ==Background== In response to the Crimean crisis and the subsequent annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, some governments and international organisations, led by the :United States and :European Union, imposed sanctions on Russian individuals and businesses. As the unrest expanded into other parts of southern and eastern Ukraine, and later escalated into the ongoing war in the Donbass region, the scope of the sanctions increased. The Russian government responded in kind, with sanctions against some Canadian and American individuals and, in August 2014, with a total ban on food imports from the European Union, United States, Norway, Canada and Australia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International sanctions during the Ukrainian crisis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
