Meaningless sanctions. They are not against Putin or Russia, but the two break-away territories.
Yup no real sanctions because enough people close to Biden and the Germans and the French need Russian business badly.
The major reason Ukraine hasn’t been taken as a Nato Member are the waring conflicts on it’s borders. No country can qualify for Nato with conflicts. So Russia annexing these two areas of conflict could mean then Ukraine would be open then for Nato Membership.......once a cease fire is established over a period of time.
