Russian Grand Prix cancelled!
Russia stripped of Champions League final, which will now be played in Paris!
How'd ya like that, Putin?
The west stands with you, Ukraine (albeit several thousand miles away, in absolute safety).
This is the about the extent of the response so far, which highlights the powerlessness of the west. Nothing to stop Putin, nor even to encourage him to slow down.
Agreed, any sanctions in an effort to slow down or discourage Putin are vague and completely pointless. Putin isn't going to stop, while the West is afraid of provoking a larger scale war in case they interfere, such measures are simply for show, yes they might hurt Russia financially, but this attack was premeditated, Putin has taken into account such repercussions while he knew that the west wouldn't stop him.
