The Russians want sanctions, they want UN officials walking out refusing to listen to diplomats. It makes the west look petulant and will only bolster the reason Putin gave publicly for starting the war. Russia has been preparing to be isolated for 15-20 years. They are largely self-reliant and have four massive trade partners in Brazil, China, Iran and India. Plus Germany needs their fuel and have no alternative. The more the west sanctions the worse it’ll be for the west and better it’ll be for Russia. Ultimately, the war is over. Russia supposedly wants an independent neutral country; I suspect they’ll take half the country and force the other half to be neutral.
