Normally. This is not a normal situation though. A future russian government will likely have to offer something to rebuild trust and make the western nations comfortable with dropping the sanctions. Making a radical break with the current system, including dropping commitments seems like it could be expected.

That is, if Russia survives this as a state. There was already a map floating around on social media of Russia's various (semi-)autonomous provinces that could use this opportunity to lobby for independence.

Daily reminder that social media is just what a bunch of people think. It’s not to be confused with actual political thinking or decision making by actual policymakers nor representatives in official government business. Not until twitter actually declares national sovereignty and fights and wins it.
