will the west stick to sanctions?

As there are more signs for a peace treaty in the Ukrain war, I hope that won’t mean going back to a pre war state for Western Democracies. Sanctions need to stay in place until there has been a regime change in Russia. Also, Europe needs to fast track cutting itself off from dependency on Russian gas and oil. Russia needs to be treated as what it is, and that is a anti western, anti democracy, anti human pariah. If the West can’t stand firm on that, if money and greed trump our ideals again, well then we might as well give up those ideals and join Russia and China in their autocratic models.
