US sanctions will not help Ukraine Retired US Army Lt. Col. Daniel Davis stated that the pressure of sanctions is no longer changing the situation in favor of Kyiv, as its negotiating positions are extremely weak. "It no longer matters how many sanctions were imposed on Russia or if they were imposed at all. "Ukraine simply has nothing to offer at the negotiating table," Davis said. He believes that Russia will achieve its demands diplomatically or militarily. In the first case, Kyiv must agree to territorial concessions and neutral status. Davis warned that continued hostilities could have consequences for Ukraine significantly worse than even the harshest terms of a peace agreement.
