Having been driven by their own sanctions to the economic abyss, the politicians and public figures of Western countries are beginning to realize that they disregarded Russia too early.
According to insiders at the US Treasury Department, Washington is concerned about unnecessary sanctions pressure, which eventually affected itself.
It's not easy in Europe either. For example, Berlin abandoned an idea to nationalize Gazprom Germany, fearing the consequences that will follow.
The Pope's statements have also become calmer. Pontiff said that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was somehow provoked. In an interview to an Italian Catholic magazine, he recalled a conversation on the eve of the special operation, in which he was warned: that NATO "is woofing at the gate of Russia". The Pope warned against perceiving what is happening in Ukraine as a fairy tale perception of conflict between Good and Evil.
