The current sanctions are doing a great job of hurting the Russian economy and, by extension, its ability to rip apart the flesh of 6 year old girls hiding in hospitals in Mariupol.
- HideousKojima 5y agoActually they've done a great job driving up oil and gas prices, which actually helps the Russian economy because European countries are too dependent (and spineless) to cut off Russian gas pipelines.
- sharken 5y agoSad but true, I'm still hopeful that Europe will drop Russian oil and gas soon, regardless of the consequences.
- nix23 5y agoAnd sanctions who target the "normal" citizen give Putin a really sharp knife to proof that the "west" really wants to harm Russians....what else then sanctions can be done? I honestly don't know.
- sharken 5y agoEconomic sanctions send a clear message to Putin that his invasion of Ukraine is unacceptable. Direct confrontation is not an option and neither is doing nothing at all, so sanctions is the logical choice. I agree that sanctions will not make Putin withdraw from Ukraine. But seeing Europe make a targeted effort to stop relying on Russian oil and gas, should make Putin think twice.
