Is it possible to punish everyone in group X because of the bad behaviour of some people in group X? That's called guilt by association.

Economic sanctions on Russia would also impoverish Russians who had no say in the invasion. That's unfortunate, but what is the alternative?

Sanctions were a factor in ending apartheid. Likewise they can play a part in ending a mobster takeover of nations. Democracy must be kept. Dictatorship must be ended.
