Number one, the sanctions are extracting financial penalties against Russia and those who are supportive of Putin's aggression around the world. I think there is a significant economic impact on Russia with these sanctions. That's why you're always hearing Vladimir Putin calling on the world to stop these sanctions, because it is a very important lever.
How could we live with ourselves by trading with a country that is currently responsible for an active war that has taken the lives of at least 10,000 innocent people, for invading another country, for taking over a territory illegally? Should we be rewarding that kind of behaviour? In fact, we should be increasing sanctions until that behaviour stops. That is the value of the sanctions policy.
