While EU are making sanctions against Russia with one hand, they are funding car in Ukraine with another hand by buying fuuel from Russia. Since war started, EU paid over $16 billion for fuel import. Fuel - oil and gas always been main source of income for Russia and it continue to be. Yes, I know that it would be difficult to find replacement for their gas and oil and set up whole supply proccess in such short time, but there is so much hipocrisy in EU actions.

The west banned their own president from every social media there is.
Seized the Russian properties regardless of whom the owner is supporting (seriously why haven't the UK questioned the source of Abramovitz's wealth before?), kicking people out of colleges, not letting Russian people into the restaurants (wtf?)
I haven't been to Russia so I can't say anything about the country but the west's mask has slipped, they are also not what they claim to be.
edit: Also see the Canadian truckers and what happened to them and their bank accounts. Freedom of speech my ass.
I don't agree with banning Trump from social media, removing videos that someone don't like and etc. Probably there is no country in the world with complete freedom of speech. But I think that is simply not correct to compare level of censorship in Russia and in the Western countries.
IMO, in this case, seizing Russian properites isn't something wrong, while removing people from college is overkill. While not letting Russian people into restaurants is just initiative by few restaurants in the world and it's not pushed by government.
