Meanwhile, in Russia, we can expect Western sanctions to slow growth, with adverse effects on an already weakened Europe. (This is not an argument against sanctions: The world had to respond to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and Western CEOs who argue otherwise, seeking to protect their investments, have demonstrated a disturbing lack of principle.)
与此同时，对于俄罗斯，我们可以预期西方制裁将令其增长放缓，而已然十分疲软的欧洲也将受到消极影响。（这并非是要反对制裁：世界必须对俄罗斯入侵乌克兰有所反应，而反对这样做、意图保护他们的投资的西方CEO表现出令人失望的没有原则。）
