First, the sanctions imposed so far – visa cancellations, asset seizures or freezes, and the like – will not give Sevastopol back to Ukraine, but they will eventually bite, at least in certain Russian business sectors. Whether this unites the oligarchs, or divides them, and whether it forces them to take their money out of Russia, or bring it back home, cannot be predicted.
首先，目前所采取的制裁措施——取消签证、资产没收或冻结等——并不能让塞瓦斯托波尔回归乌克兰，但终究会起到作用，至少对俄罗斯的某些商业部门会起到作用。这些制裁会团结还是分裂寡头、会迫使他们将资金转出还是转回俄罗斯都无法预料。
