    Trump hasn’t lifted any sanctions on Russia yet. He prolonged them for a year in February, and has been trying to offer the perspective of lifting them in exchange for peace negotiations. But since Putin hasn’t started negotiating in earnest yet, no sanctions have been lifted as far as I know.

        One is a sanction lifting on a fairly unimportant woman, true. Two are about “plans” a month ago (nothing was put in practice). Last one is tangentially related. But none are really about lifting sanctions.
