The EU, US and several other countries have imposed economic sanctions against several Russian individuals and legal entities in 2014 in connection with the conflict in Eastern Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea to Russia. In August 2014 Russia imposed retaliatory measures by banning the import of products from countries that imposed sanctions against Russia.

The Russian economy since the end of 2014 is in crisis. During this time there have been more than a twofold devaluation of the ruble amid falling oil prices.
