SANCTIONS MEANT 'TO PREVENT AND DETER'
Daleep Singh, deputy national security adviser for international economics and deputy director at the National Economic Council, said Tuesday that the express purpose of the sanctions threat was deterrence.

They’re meant to prevent large-scale human suffering that could involve tens of thousands of casualties in a conflict.”
