**Western Sanctions Were a Trade, Not a One-Way Street**
Shalva Papuashvili says that Western sanctions against Russia were not just one country’s policy. He claims they were the result of trade between Western countries.
Each country adjusted its sanctions to fit its own interests and needs. This was a collaborative effort, rather than a single country making decisions for everyone else.
Papuashvili thinks that this approach is now clear. People can see how each country’s actions influenced the others.
