Thanks, but to me the sanctions are going to hurt the very people under this crush.

I thought the sanctions would be against Putin, not the area under incursion.

I'm guessing it's to prevent whatever puppet Moscow installs from seizing them for Russia since it's right now rightly Ukraine's.

(7,405 posts)6. Sounds complicated
I wish the sanctions would directly hurt Putin for this invasion.
nycbos
(6,039 posts)8. Well life is complicated.
I am guessing those types of sanctions are being worked on.

the country it is invading. I hope Ukraine can protect their valuables.

Just look at the LBN posts. Invasion.

The converse argument is why not sanction the area? Frankly I have no idea how the specific sanctions will function, but I assume it might make Putins job a little harder.There is no way we can prevent collateral impact on the citizens of Ukraine in those areas.
