European Union countries renewed the bloc’s two sanctions frameworks on Russia for another six months at the end of January and earlier this month. Any changes to sanctions require unanimity among its 27 member states.
“The end of the Russian unprovoked and unjustified aggression in Ukraine and unconditional withdrawal of all Russian military forces from the entire territory of Ukraine would be one of the main preconditions to amend or lift sanctions,” the spokesperson said.
I read that there are forces in Russia who are very much for the war. If Russia ends the war without gaining anything, I wonder how the populace will take it. A lot of people dying with nothing to show for it.
Would be nice if the populace got together and overthrew the authoritarian regime. We can show them how, if they want to.
Let us hope the pro peace forces are stronger.
