From my social circle, most developers are leaving for SWIFT ban. It really affected badly prowestern Russians who make living remotely. In Georgia or Kazakhstan, you can still speak Russian, but it is much easier to do business. Once sanctions are lifted, they plan to go back.

> once sanctions are lifted How many sanctions were lifted since 2014? How many sanctions were lifted from Cuba since 1960s?

  I also really fail to see a situation where the west would think it acceptable. If Russia completely leaves Crimea and pays reparations to rebuild Ukraine - maybe. But that is never going to happen

    The West, particularly Europe, has an energy dependence problem. I think they might have to accept some things they don't want. Was nuclear power such a terrible option?

  It is just a matter of time before sending money to Russia for any reason will be considered as supporting terrorists.

      EU is to ban Russian oil (I assume, it will have to buy it for a premium price from the empire responsible for the war--it is the end of EU independence if there was any). https://www.wsj.com/articles/germany-calls-for-russian-oil-embargo-as-eu-prepares-new-sanctions-11651488395 https://www.wsj.com/articles/germany-calls-for-russian-oil-e...

Sanctions are not likely to be lifted until "wrong" people profit from Russia's oil. Russia looks like a banana republic where the puppet government gone rogue.
