I have to agree with Wress, Sanctions will have to be lifted if a peace deal is agreed, or Putin will just pull the gas and oil.. IF the U.S haven't learnt their lesson... it soon will when supplies are cut. BOTH EU & U.S are AVOIDING that scenario.
If you think all those companies that have removed their business's from Russia are not hurting, then you're greatly mistaken. Mastercard, Visa, financials, social media platforms, retail sector companies are suffering, because you CAN'T just remove such a large part of economics from businesses so abruptly!... Right now they're following public sentiment, but if this mess isn't sorted then their next financials are going to be bloody appalling!... and they know it!!!
If this goes on too long, all these sectors will put pressure on their respective Govt's.
Right now Zelensky's playing the hero card, which is all well and good... BUT how long will the displaced families clap?? Soon, it will be a case of heroics only go so far and it's not worth the cost to Ukraine through infrastructure and social economics!
