Elementary economics. Just cut off the western cash flowing to Russia by imposing a total trade embargo including oil & gas & the criminal war waged on Ukraine by Russia rapidly becomes unaffordable as the priority for Putin to stay in power will be paying salaries and pensions.
RT @stluedke: Putin's ex-economic adviser explains why he believes a full oil embargo would stop the war „within a month or two“

RT @Biz_Ukraine_Mag: Putin's invasion of Ukraine is setting new standards in the field of Russian military incompetence. The top three entries so far:

1. Losing your flagship to a country without a navy

2. Digging trenches in the Chernobyl dead zone
