A different course would be more effective. In order to steer both the Russian establishment's and ordinary people's opinions toward returning occupied territories to #Ukraine, the United States and #Europe need to grant protection to people running from Russia, and they need to stop discriminating against Russians abroad. They have to make more compelling assurances that they will not try to dismember Russia, and they need to offer some form of amnesty to officials who oversee a democratic transition. Finally, and most important, they have to lay out a clear roadmap of how, and under what conditions, they will lift both individual and national #sanctions.
