4.2 reading challenge russia-ukraine conflict
what does the term \sanctions\ mean in this context?

Explanation:

In the context of the Russia - Ukraine conflict, "sanctions" typically refer to penalties or restrictions imposed on a country (like economic, trade, or diplomatic restrictions) to influence its behavior. The first option is about refugee protection, the second about military support, and the fourth about peace agreements, which don't match the meaning of sanctions. So the correct option is the one about punishments or restrictions on a country.

Answer:

C. Punishments or restrictions on a country
