Netherlands has said enough is enough! They become the first European country to withdraw sanctions against Russia, without permission from EU. (nltimes.nl)

@yogthos this is a bit of fake news… there are certain companies or products that aren’t held to the sanctions (food, aluminium, bc needs must); mist countries have those exceptions. But there is no intention to lift sanctions in a broader sense

The key is that they're withdrawing these sanctions without EU giving the OK for doing so. These are also not just a few items, it's 91 waivers. This is significant.
