I don't understand the map that claims to describe countries that have sanctioned Russia (File:Sanctions against Russia and Belarus 2022.svg).
It seems to include numerous errors that should be somehow cited and corroborated if they are going to be featured so prominently on Wikipedia. Serbia appears to have sanctioned Russia, according to this map, though there is no citation for this claim and it is not reflected in news reports or the text on Wikipedia anywhere that I can find.
The map claims that "single restrictions", whatever that means, have been imposed by countries such as Chile, South Africa, Uzbekistan, and Krygyzstan. I have been unable to find a single news article reporting any restrictions imposed by any of these countries and no such restrictions are mentioned anywhere in this article. The list of nations participating in sanctions below this map does not match up with the map at all and does not include numerous countries colored various colors in the map.
Another example is Kazakhstan, which is colored purple indicating that it is not participating in evading sanctions. Yet a recent Silverado Policy Accelerator report on sanctions evasion lists Kazakhstan as a major transit point for the parallel import of sanctioned goods into Russia (https://silverado.org/news/report-russia-shifting-import-sources-amid-u-s-and-allied-export-restrictions). Turkey, one of the leading nations in re-exporting sanctioned products to Russia, is also colored purple.
I believe this map should simply be removed and replaced with one that reflects the nations listed in this article as participating in the sanctions regime. This map has featured prominently for months while being glaringly inaccurate, poorly designed, and corresponding in no way with the text of the article.

As moldova does not want to join, the sanctions. I believe the map features at least one mistake. --78.193.35.108 (talk) 22:32, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
Why is the image and caption of the French Finance Minister being used twice in this article? Perhaps it should be replaced, or one of them removed entirely?Crazymantis91 (talk) 06:57, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
For me, in File:Sanctions against Russia and Belarus 2022.svg in the section "Summary of sanctions by regions", the colors that are supposedly blue and violet look nearly identical. I suggest to change these to two more distinct colors. Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 10:31, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Russia cancelled and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 August 27#Russia cancelled until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

The section about Switzerland was very biased. It was written as if Switzerland was the main safe heaven for sanction evasions although Switzerland follows the EU sanctions. I tried to make it more neutral according to the sources (and added some governmental sources as well). Some biases included:
-crucial information from the sources was left-out such as that the Swiss government rejects the claim of the Helsinki Commission.
-nowhere was in the ABC-news source stated that the report from the Moscow embassy was from 2022. It was also not stated in the AP primary source article (which was BTW already published 3 days after the start of the war). The whole purpose why the articles mention Switzerland as being important for transactions was because Switzerland implemented sanctions and this was also entirely left-out.
-there are multiple estimates on the total wealth of Russian people in Switzerland.
-nowhere was stated that Switzerland froze more money than other countries and how many individuals were targeted. Switzerland sanctioned all the people from the blacklist of the EU. Of course this is not every rich person and one can debate this, whether it is enough or not. But there is also a lot of Russian money in the EU or in the UK from people that are not on the blacklist. So as long as the EU does not put them on the blacklists, it is not "sanction evasions" and also not entirely Switzerlands fault. That is why I also removed the word "only".
I understand that criticism is valid but the sources were neutral and so should also be the WP section. Tensorproduct (talk) 15:23, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
I will try again to re-edit the entry on the Helsinki commission. We don't need a separate title here, and the style is awful. We can shorten this with the same amount of information. The panama and paradise papers have nothing to do with this. Avoid unnecessary bload. 73.240.74.203 (talk) 16:54, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
Georgia is listed in this article as having introduced sanctions against Russia.
What source is provided for this claim? Synotia (talk) 19:25, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
Did my best to clean this up but it's still a mess. Tagged with multiple issues. The article repeated itself, in some cases repeating the same information over three times, and existing information (such as, arguably, the entire banking section) is often still redundant. Tons of unsourced opinions, citation links leading to opinion pieces, off-topic tangents, and unsupported assertions and quotes, especially those made by Russian officials. The article has/had a strong pro-Russian slant, with many aberrant paragraphs talking about Russia's economic power and importance with no discussion of sanctions. The topic is sanctions.
Other sections were written in narrative format, with conjectures about the reasoning for events or the intended effect, rather than simply stating the events as they occurred. Hopefully someone else can give this page some attention and improve things I probably missed. Just-a-can-of-beans (talk) 05:58, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
The headers for wikipedia, "article too long", "dispute on neutrality", or "too long to navigate" are unnecessary, and redundant as they make the article even longer (calculated these messages make up 10% of the display area!), and it looks kind of lousy. Of course "neutrality" is always an issue when editing wiki, please let me remove those headers. It is more important that we write tightly, remove fluff (such as jpegs), and look for balanced sources. I am going ahead and delete these headers. Thank you.

It is doing more harm to Western economies than to the Russian one. We need a section "Effects on other economies", and mentioning the unintended effect of dedollarisation. emijrp (talk) 19:40, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

I have been editing this page for years, and preferred to edit with my IP number rather than using a pseudonym. Why is this page no longer open for contributors to edit it? I have never encountered any vandalism of any kind for this topic. Please keep wikipedia open for global contributors outside of English-speaking countries, thank you. 213.55.225.15 (talk) 04:39, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
