So you suggest we keep the economy of Russia going? That way the common Russians don't feel any consequences. Too bad we will all still fund the bombs that are dropping on Ukrainian houses and apartments.

Ukrainians can also end a lot of suffering by just agreeing with what Russia is requesting. It seems they decided not to.

You're suggesting that common Russians feeling "consequences" will change the war and I would like to disagree. They can do next to nothing, with a high stake. Most of the sanctions, especially the ones that certainly would not affect oligarchs or government personels, are purely psyops and a political gesture of the west.

You misread my comment: I said that you want to save the impact on normal Russian and keep feeding the war economy. I suggest to stop feeding them money for their army, and the consequences on the common Russian is something that can't be avoided.
