Back in the 1980s during nuclear treaty negotiations, President Ronald Reagan said, “Trust, but verify” to describe how the U.S. would proceed with its Soviet counterparts. Since it was actually an old Russian proverb, rather than being offended, their leader laughed and it became part of our lexicon, too.

This is rooted in Russia's record of ignoring treaty pledges to respect Ukraine's territorial integrity and independence. "A security guarantee can also be something like the Budapest Memorandum of 1994," Clifford May of the U.S.-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies told RFE/RL's Current Time. "Russia signed it. America signed it. Britain signed it. And it said, we will all respect the territorial integrity of Ukraine. That security guarantee was not literally worth the paper it was written on," May said. The memorandum is one of at least six international agreements that Russia's aggression in Ukraine has violated. These include a 2003 border treaty signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin himself, the 2010 Kharkiv agreements enabling Russia to maintain its naval base in Crimea, and the 2014-15 Minsk Accords aimed at ending combat in the Donbas.

It is much easier to impose sanctions than it is to end them. Unsuccessful sanctions pose a policy dilemma. Lifting such measures despite their failure to achieve the stated goals may harm the sender’s reputation as committed sanctioners, but keeping trade or financial restrictions in place is also costly. A gradual easing of external pressure with the help of clear and feasible milestones can incentivise incremental change in target countries.
