How about with taxes paid there?

German chancelor Olaf Scholz halted $10b Nord Stream 2 project and plans to stop fossils import from Russia to cut cash flow to Putin's regime. Other repercussions' goal is similar: to stop indirectly funding Putin's invasion.

Everyone paying Russia could just "stay put" but this wouldn't be inaction.

How about taxes paid in countries with more civilian kills in unjustified wars?

Are people from Iraq, Afghanistan, Sub-sahran africa less horrible to kill than from Ukraine?

I'm not whatabouting, I'm just clarifying what this idea implies

The actual reason why it's "okay" to pay taxes in U.S. is that the media don't demonize U.S. as equally as for Russia, Iran, Taliban, etc.. Therefore, public opinion isn't really going to affect their $$
