"Sanctions are one of the few peaceful tools of diplomacy."

"I think most people would agree that sanctions are a foreign policy tool, but this review is basically a Treasury-centric product."

"Sanctions are only as good as they are enforced, like any other law."

"This decision has created a political, military, and energy threat for Ukraine and Central Europe while increasing Russia's potential to destabilize the security situation in Europe"
