Being sanctioned means no bank will touch you, meaning no employer and landlord will touch you, meaning you don't get a national insurance health card to receive healthcare, and you'll be homeless and begging for food.

How is taking away all of someone's means to survive NOT a death sentence?

How does being sanctioned by the EU *while living in Russia* do that?

Since when does Russia care?

(Assuming of course that the claim you responded to was in fact correct, that he has been living in Russia since 2013).

Because Jacques BAUD is NOT living in Russia but is living in Belgium like I said 3 times already.

Has reading comprehension gotten THAT bad?

If he isn't, as you aver, his continued existence rather contradicts your claim of this being a death sentence. Or even reduce one to begging.

Did anyone of them die?

Is unaccountable government legal overreach an issue for you only when you die by it?

To me death sentence has very specific meaning.
