Lifting sanctions means helping Russian soldiers by helping the Russian defense industry. After some sanctions were eased, we did not see any surprises like lower global prices for oil, gas, or diesel. Because the share of Russian oil accounts for only 5% of global supply. How could it make a difference? So lifting sanctions is not about that. I think it’s about building dialogue with the Russians. But it's not the right approach, because they don’t understand words or empathy and see it as a sign of weakness. We need to be strong and impose more sanctions on them.
