From chasing down yachts to seizing Italian villas, the global effort to punish Russian oligarchs for their financial ties to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine has been unprecedented. "This time around, the effort to track down their assets is much greater," Timothy Frye, professor of post-Soviet foreign policy at Columbia University, told CNBC. It's unclear, however, whether the oligarchs hold enough sway over Putin to prompt an end to Russia's ongoing barrage against Ukraine, experts say. Imposing the sanctions against the Russian oligarchs may also prove difficult given the U.S.' strong protections over property rights, Douglas Rediker, a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, told CNBC. Watch the video above to find out how the Russia's oligarchs came to power, and whether global sanctions against the billionaires could help bring an end to the Russia-Ukraine war.
