Ukraine considers easing sanctions on Russia for peace

Ukraine is willing to consider easing sanctions on Russia to achieve peace. This marks a shift as Ukraine previously maintained a strict stance against any concessions. The move comes amid ongoing economic struggles for Russia due to sanctions. Russia's economy has suffered significant losses in oil and gas revenues since the invasion of Ukraine. Many businesses and skilled workers have left the country. Ukraine's sanctions policy commissioner emphasized that any discussions on lifting sanctions depend on Russia's actions. The U.S. is reportedly exploring options for sanctions relief, aiming to improve relations with Russia. International investors are also showing interest in Russian assets, anticipating potential gains if sanctions are lifted.
