Good afternoon. And thanks so much for that kind introduction, and for welcoming back to Ditchley. I first came here in 1979, as a young and unformed Marshall Scholar at Oxford, with just enough cash to rent a black tie for the formal conference dinner and buy a bus ticket. I must admit that my memory of the conference itself is hazy, but the effect it had on me was profound.

June 15, 2023 Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Kyiv's Western allies have sanctioned numerous ultra-wealthy associates of Vladimir Putin, regarding them as enablers of Moscow's aggression. How to make these measures most effective has been a topic of debate, but one thing is clear: The global offshore system makes assets easy to hide and sanctions against them difficult to enforce.
