Are you well stocked with food and supplies? I'd be loading up on non-perishables. Like, months and months worth. Also, things you can barter(cigarettes? not sure on that). Expecting things to stay normal sounds like a big gamble. Even if Putin pulls out today, I'd expect months of sanctions to make life pretty difficult on you. The west isn't just going to remove them immediately.
