Nearly a year since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ed Butler examines the real state of the Russian economy.

Ami Daniel, chief executive of Windward, a maritime data company, tells Ed about the Russian oil tankers transferring millions of tonnes of crude oil between ships to bypass sanctions.

As the war continues, millions of euros worth of Russian assets remain frozen as a result of sanctions. Urmas Reinsalu, the Estonian foreign minister, tells us about an initiative Estonia is leading to actually seize and exploit some of Russian鈥檚 frozen billions for the benefit of Ukraine.
