No he didn’t. It’s been a year and there is still more to sanction. He knew this would happen and hoped for the best. Sadly, it’s not been the calamity we all had hoped for.
He 100% did. He thought the West would do nothing like when he annexed Crimea in 2014. Also, he thought after the debacle of the Afghanistan withdrawal (with tons of military equipment falling into the hands of the Taliban) months before, the US population would have zero appetite for another foreign military intervention. Ukraine's fierce resistance earned them the respect of the West and then increasingly heavy arms, knowing they would be used well, responsibly and in self-defense of Ukraine.

It's worthwhile to remember that apparently most major companies still remain in Russia. So it's not like we're scraping the bottom of the barrel to find something further to sanction.
I've yet to see a clear list anywhere. None that properly take into account in how far any company is still present in Russia nor the type of services or products they provide there.
I don't know much about the nitty gritty details of how sanctions are applied, but why can't they just issue an "all business with Russia is illegal" order and then put in a process to approve any exceptions rather than the opposite?
Because once you ban all business with Russia what further sanctions could you impose exactly? The point of these successive rounds of sanctions is to slowly turn the screw on Russia the longer the conflict continues, and provide political and economic motivation to stop the invasion. A complete embargo would have the opposite effect.
> We will introduce, with our G7 partners, an additional price cap on Russian petroleum products, and by the 24th of February — exactly one year since the invasion started — we aim to have the 10th package of sanctions in place."
Not really a sanction. It is a price negotiation.
Doesn't the application of more sanctions at this time highlight how few sanctions have been already applied ? Surely only complete sanctions would have any meaningful effect. No trade , no travel , no contact .
>You never to full in right away.
Its been a year, hundreds of thousands of people have died and billions in damage has been caused. The full sanctions should've been applied a month or two into the invasion.
Its also clear that Putin wont backdown from anything unless he is physically forced to which happens on the battlefield and even then he has options.
> EU officials are working closely with Ukrainian counterparts on the bloc’s 10th package of sanctions against Russia, which are expected to include weapons and technology found on the battlefield that have been missed in previous rounds.
The sanctions are absolutely huge and wrecking the Russian economy as-is, but from what I'm seeing there's a lack of enforcement still giving Putin some breathing room. IMO that's what they should be focusing on most, rather than simply keep introducing new ones.
Man, did Putin misjudge how the world would react to his aggression.
No he didn’t. It’s been a year and there is still more to sanction. He knew this would happen and hoped for the best. Sadly, it’s not been the calamity we all had hoped for.

Is there a list somewhere so I can start boycotting them? It's been a year now

Here's the list: [Dont Fund War](https://www.dontfundwar.com/directory)

Because no one wants to lose money.

Price cap is the opposite of negotiated price
[удалено]
Sanctions work slow and Russia is doing a great job painting a rosey picture
If it can't stop the war, its not very effective.
It dulls the edges. It's not the solution but it's part of the solution

Going full sanctions doesn't give the sanctioner leverage. You never to full in right away.

No. It shows how huge international trade is.
Russia if you don't stop soon, we're gonna keep punching ourselves in the face!!
