Russia has deployed its troops in Ukraine in what it calls a special military operation to put down its southern neighbor's military capabilities and root out people it calls dangerous neo-Nazis.
Ukrainian troops have shown fierce resistance and Western countries led by the United States have imposed broad sanctions on Russia in an effort to force Putin to withdraw his military forces.
According to Alexander Sergeyev, president of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a huge number of scientists have left Russia when Western sanctions were enforced in 2014 following Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine. "It's difficult to assess the scale of the losses, I believe they are large," Sergeyev told a news conference, the Interfax news agency reported. "Competing for science with the whole world is hard. We need to liberate scientists' initiative, creativity, give them the opportunity to work easily in [Russia]. It is necessary to introduce benefits, increase the financing of science, so that it provides, in addition to prestige, normal material conditions." The newest incentive program comes as Russia seems to be responding against Western sanctions. The country has warned that it would limit exports of agriculture products to only "friendly" nations.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who is the current deputy secretary of the country's security council, said many nations rely on supplies of food from Russia, and that the country’s "priority in food supplies is our domestic market. And price control" he told the Telegram on Friday, April 1. "We will supply food and crops only to our friends. Fortunately, we have a lot of them, and they are not at all in Europe and not in North America," Medvedev said, adding that they could pay in both rubles and their national currency "in agreed proportions." Medvedev noted that Russia will not supply any of their products to countries it deems as "enemies." Watch the video below to know about the global impact of sanctions on Russia.
