Allowing Russia to keep illegally annexed land wouldn't be enough of "tossing them a bone" as it is, you want to ease sanctions as well? That'd be like giving a bully at school a reward for punching the small kid.
Fuck that, sanctions should be kept until territory is returned, otherwise they should stay indefinitely. Let the price they pay for taking that land be them going back into the economic stone age.
