Four years after sanctions were adopted in spring and summer 2014, the debate continues. In June 2018, EU leaders will decide whether or not to extend economic sanctions for another six months. Meanwhile, the US has adopted additional sanctions of its own. Are sanctions having a significant impact on Russia? Does it make sense to keep them in place? Are there any signs that Russia is reconsidering its support for Donbas separatists?
