I'm reading many articles explaining that Russia shall be cut off from the SWIFT global interbank payments system, as a sanction in response to its invasion of Ukraine. That means it would be impossible to make bank transfers between Russia and most other countries.

I see this as an absolutely fantastic opportunity for BTC.
If you can"t use banks, just use BTC and be happy.

looks like they have been ready for those kinds of hostility by their enemies and they were experiencing with bitcoins lately, I think we will finally see some kind of green light for bitcoins here since there will have no choice but to adopt it and the holders will rejoice if that will gonna happen in this year. A bad move for its enemies since Russia has their own alternatives or Plan B when something like this happened, no matter how hard they impose sanctions against them, it won't really matter.

Yes, no one was ready for such a turn of events. It's a lie. Simple people are not ready for new sanctions, many had meals after Sanctions of 2014, and now there will be new even more terrible and what no one knows.
Apparently the hope was what will be as in 2014, that sanctions will be limited and will not harm аnd now apparently woke up and understood how seriously everything.
Bitcoin will not help here with sanctions.
