Russia has vaulted past Iran and North Korea to become the world’s most-sanctioned nation in the span of just 10 days following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. How did the West impose sanctions so quickly? They clearly did not stop Putin from invading, but how do they change his calculus now, if at all?

Please join us for this evening’s presentation with Peter Piatetsky, Co-Founder and CEO of Castellum.AI, when he will lead us through a brief history of sanctions, existing programs focusing on Iran and North Korea, and what it means to witness history's largest sanctions event.
