It's probably also worth noting that some companies are not Russian on paper, but have a ton of employees located in Russia (e.g. Jetbrains' Kotlin is named after an island near St Petersburg; the company is czech on paper)

- IntrepidWorm 5y agoThe russian people are an economic casualty in this sense. In many ways they did not choose Putin as their leader, but they still serve to support him (intentionally or otherwise) as citizens of the country he sits atop of. The state apparatus has wide reaching access to the resources of russian citizens and businesses, and the means and motivation to squeeze for those resources if and when they are needed to further Putin's aggression. If the goal is to cut off Putin and the russian state apparatus, that unfortunately must include all of Russia as well.
