reuters теперь целую статейку накатал, что "ну теперь-то украинские санкции точно не уберут зимой"(когда они первый раз это упомянули, я порадовалась. Но теперь во мне включилось Чудинище 
Ну т.е. раньше-то реально после каждого продления каркали "фсё, это последний раз, в след. раз не получится", и мно-ого. А потом опять продлевали. Мне теперь неуютно

"It's clear that the assault on Aleppo has changed the mindset of some. It will be impossible to back an easing of sanctions on Ukraine in the current context," said one EU foreign minister.
A French diplomatic source echoed the view, saying: "The prospect of the Russian sanctions over Ukraine being lifted are practically nil after Aleppo."

"Things are going from bad to worse. No one will dare to ask for an easing. At this stage, the doves will be happy if things stay where they are," said another diplomat in Brussels.

Britain, whose influence has waned in light of its decision to leave the European Union, said on Tuesday it wanted further sanctions on Moscow and Syria.
"We have to step up the pressure on Assad's regime through sanctions and on the Russians through sanctions," Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson told lawmakers.
Британия тоже хочет, но её никто не слушает из-за брекзита.
