Putin, at least, took measures to ensure Russia could operate under sanctions.

Regulations: Art. 42
Territory is considered occupied when it is actually placed under the authority of the hostile army.
The occupation extends only to the territory where such authority has been established and can be exercised |
Israel controls the borders, sea, and sky, including the flow of goods, water, and electricity, which absolutely constitutes an occupation, and there is zero debate about their occupation of West Bank.
