Sanctions, Russia's war, and the future of trade

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is one of the worst assaults on civilians in Europe since the Second World War. Forty countries around the world, representing half of the global economy, have imposed far-reaching sanctions on Russia. What effects will the sanctions and the war have on trade policies? Can we expect a closer cooperation between the European Union and the United States, or will both turn inwards instead? What consequences will the war have for the World Trade Organization and the multilateral trading system?
