It is our position that sanctions should be primarily targeted at oligarchs and the ruling class of Russian society. Those who hold the power should be those who face the repercussions. We recognise that the sanctions that slow down the Russian economy, which is necessary in the immediate term to halt their military progress, will have some impact on the working people of Russia. That is why sanctions must be time bound and reviewed on a continuous basis to determine their effectiveness and their adverse impact on working people. The exemption of humanitarian reasons must also be used wherever necessary.
