The sanctions on Russia imposed by the Western alliance is far beyond anything that could be considered reasonable. The sanctions didn’t stay confined to just the targets closest to Putin and individuals with actual power in the Russian government. They are hurting innocent Russian civilians who have no connection to Kremlin and no say in the matter of Putin’s foreign policy.
