Introducing such targeted sanctions would be an indisputable sign that the West will not compromise on its fundamental values – values that Putin’s Russia claims to share. It would also set a precedent that could be extended to all of those in Russia and other countries who regularly violate human rights, and not just those rights concerning physical inviolability.
推行这种有针对性的制裁将是一个不争的迹象，这表明西方不会损害其基本价值观，而这种价值观普京统治下的俄罗斯声称是共有的。它还将开创一项先例，可以扩展到所有在俄罗斯和其他国家的经常侵犯人权的人，而不只是那些有关身体不可侵犯的权利。
