but by now most of the European countries have done the same. We just need to make sure the laws have teeth.

lawfully, then achieving. Without involvement of people who are slipping civilization's leashes in this era.

That doesn't rule out lawfully seizing overseas property of Russian oligarchs. We've done it before and will do it again. And even lawfully seizing some "oligarchs" themselves who enter nations waiting to arrest them. Lawfully.

Bulldoze them? Not so much. Sell the assets and send the money to Ukraine for so long as it exists and then use the balance to fund a Ukrainian insurgency.
