SOUNDBITE 1 (Arabic): NAJIB MALAEB, Beirut-based security analyst and commentator 2. SOUNDBITE 2 (English): NAJMA MINHAS, Editor at Global Village Space in Pakistan STORYLINE: Since the start of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine, Western countries have imposed batches of sanctions on Russia. Analysts have warned of potential huge consequences and spillovers, and some have raised doubts over the specific sectors in Russia subject to the sanctions by the U.S. SOUNDBITE 1 (Arabic): NAJIB MALAEB, Beirut-based security analyst and commentator "We saw that sanctions were on some Russian banks, not all banks. Banks that cover proceeds from oil and gas in Russia were not subject to SWIFT sanctions. They (the U.S.) were being selective in imposing sanctions in respect for the interests of the U.S. and Europe." SOUN
