The downside of the sanctions imposed against Russia for its behavior in eastern Ukraine is that they may produce a recession throughout Europe and beyond. That will leave the world with unhappy Russians, unhappy Ukrainians, and unhappy Europeans whose sense of confidence and support for peaceful democratic institutions will weaken.
因为俄罗斯在东乌克兰的行为而对其实施制裁的不利之处在于这可能会给欧洲内外带来衰退。这会导致不开心的俄罗斯人、不开心的乌克兰人和不开心的欧洲人，他们的信心和对和平民主制度的支持会有所削弱。
