    Somebody should really tell the Russians. I’ve been hearing about “The Rouble Collapsing” for years now and Russians don’t seem to be affected or care.

      Is that so? Why are Russians so adamant that sanctions have to be lifted then? If they weren’t affected or didn’t care, why are they even bringing it up?

        And keep gained territories, and demilitarise Ukraine, and to enforce that Ukraine will not align with other countries.

        Honestly, the sanctions are pretty much just a footnote. If the sanctions were all that mattered, they’d simply withdraw.

          If the sanctions didn’t matter at all, they wouldn’t have even been mentioned at all, yet here we are with them part of the conversation.
