Among the sanctions that Western countries imposed on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the ones whose impact was felt the most by the population were the inability to use Visa and MasterCard cards abroad and the ban on high-tech equipment and electronics exports into Russia, according to a survey conducted in March 2022. Furthermore, 15 percent of respondents believed the withdrawal of international companies from the country's market would have the most significant impact on them and their families.
