The government sanctions are relatively well targeted at the Russian powers; it's all these companies running around and doing "virtue sanctions" that are hitting civilians.

And nobody dares sanction the actual gas that is flowing through the war zone itself ...

Virtue sanctions? How do you expect those companies to operate in Russia with the rouble in freefall and SWIFT cut off?

The companies mentioned are NOT cutting off just Russians, they have been cutting off anyone with Russian citizenship, no matter where they may be located.
