You can definitely get into "uncomfortable position" when messing with western countries. But if hacker resides in Russia there is not much the West can do as Russia does not extradite their citizens. The West in this case has to rely on Russia chasing after them and due to a very "warm and fuzzy" relations lately it is not likely to happen as long as those hackers do not mess with the Russia itself.
Sanctions might have helped but since Russia already sanctioned up to it's gills it probably does not care anymore.

- perlgeek 5y agoMore than one Russian hacker was arrested when making vacation in a country that has an extradition treaty with the US. That's far less effective than we would want, but it's a bit more than nothing.

I have no idea why did those Russian hackers ever assume that they'd be safe when traveling. They've committed crime and were stupid enough to basically ask to get arrested.
