    What are the odds that the sanctions will be lifted? In my view there is 0 zero chance US allows that.

      Yup. Zero chance. No matter how much Germany suffers from continuing to impose them we won’t be allowed by our masters in Washington and Brussels to lift them. Harming Russia is only a secondary objective of the sanctions. Their primary goal was to neuter Europe as a competitor to the US.
