Examples of imposed in a Sentence

  1. Sebastian Coe:

    The world is horrified by what Russia has done, aided and abetted by Belarus. World leaders sought to avoid this invasion through diplomatic means but to no avail given Russia’s unswerving intention to invade Ukraine. The unprecedented sanctions that are being imposed on Russia and Belarus by countries and industries all over the world appear to be the only peaceful way to disrupt and disable Russia’s current intentions and restore peace., anyone who knows me will understand that imposing sanctions on athletes because of the actions of their government goes against the grain. I have railed against the practice of politicians targeting athletes and sport to make political points when other sectors continue about their business. This is different as governments, business and other international organizations have imposed sanctions and measures against Russia across all sectors. Sport has to step up and join these efforts to end this war and restore peace. We can not and should not sit this one out.

  2. Milton Friedman:

  3. Ezra Rosser:

  4. R. A. Salvatore, Sojourn:

Conscience does not always adhere to rational judgment. Guilt is always a self-imposed burden, but it is not always rightly imposed.

  5. Frank Schauff:

    Countries that have not imposed sanctions are able to jump in where the EU has left a gap, the economic position that the European Union has in Russia is at risk and it is very difficult to gain that back if it is lost.
