Mostly they were NATO members and allies of the USA. The sanctions were explained as measures that can forced the Russian Federation to strictly follow the requirements of the United States and some other Western nations for Russian position on the issue of Ukraine. Basically, sanctions were aimed at the international isolation of Russia, the weakening its economy, discrediting the President of the Russian Federation, and the formation of the image of Russia as a rogue state.International isolation of the Russian Federation is organized in several areas: in the areas of trade, investment, economic, scientific, educational, technical-technological and military cooperation.

The main condition to pass from the existing stagnation trend towards sustainable growth for the Russian economy is solving of the existing structural problems such as a degradation of the national production of the investment equipment and a technological dependency of the national economy that fi results in a high dependency of the economic growth of the external financing sources. Opportunities for overcoming the structural restrictions by the development of the import substitution in the production of investment equipment required in the main segments of the national economy are considered in this report. The financing restrictions are supposed to be negotiated by the means of the special purpose emission for prioritized investment projects in different segments of the national production, agriculture and housing construction.

The article investigates the approaches to assessing the economic security of export deliveries of fuel and energy resources in the face of a possible counteraction of the global market. The authors give an analysis of possible compensatory measures, the most important of which is the reorientation of uses of hydrocarbon resources towards the predominantly domestic consumption. It appears promising to organize gas liquefaction plants in the coastal areas of the northern Russia with potential sea deliveries to the world market, thus decreasing some of the threats of the uncertainty of demand for this product. The article analyzes the areas of interaction of different types of transport in the development of new gas fi in the Arctic zone of the country. As a tool of quantitative estimates the authors use an intersectional interregional model of optimization with transport sector detailed in the block.
