PM Lee/ Biden meeting was fixed long B4 Putin invasion Singapore got stuff, forcing to impose sanction.
Russian invasion of Ukraine wasn't originally on the agenda. Nothing can be done now.
Discussion was only on joined space program.
No reasons to impose sanction after signing FTA with Russia only in December 2021, 3 months ago..

Cannot believe PM Lee happily signed Singapore/Russia FTA only in December 2021 and then, imposed sanction in March 2022 (3 months later).
The only reason is PM Lee arranged meeting with Biden long B4 Russia invasion, but got stuck.

No choice
PM Lee forced upon himself to react B4 meeting Biden
Otherwise Biden could reject all PM Lee's proposal.
PM Lee cannot return home emptied handed
