Russia is doing what they're doing regardless.
Not the time to be weak but time to hit them with whatever hammers you have and not give Russia the time to complete their plan.

Before the war broke out, wasn't the talk from the west about how they would be the most devastating sanctions ever? Russia, and even everyday people laughed it off and thought it would never be enough (myself included). Now that we've seen the world act and its easily much more than I ever thought it would be, they think it's too much? #### off. You keep punching a bear in it's face, eventually it claws your eyes out.
People like Putin only understand one single thing, and that is force. He constantly negotiates in bad faith. Constantly lies every time a camera hits his face. Has not an ounce of sympathy in him. Whatever deals he signs aren't worth the paper they are written on. Eventually you stop trying to talk down the school bully. You sack up and kick him in the junk.
Having said that, there still needs to be a path out for Russia from this, if there is to be peace and the finger off his nuclear trigger. The Russian government 100% deserves this punishment, no doubt. But hopefully there is some kind of small pathway that gives his country a way out, should he choose to do so.
