So what are these powerful "Sanctions" ? Anyone have any information as to what they are by country. I keep finding conflicting and vague information
United Kingdom
The UK said on Monday it will lock Russia’s Sberbank out of the sterling clearing and slap sanctions on three other banks. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss also said there will be a full asset freeze on Russian lenders within days.

Last week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson unveiled the UK’s largest-ever package of sanctions against Russia targeting banks, members of Putin’s closest circle, and wealthy Russians who enjoy high-rolling London lifestyles.

In the 10-point sanctions package released on Friday, the British government said it would impose an asset freeze on major Russian banks, including state-owned VTB, its second-biggest bank, and stop major Russian companies from raising finance in the UK.

Britain will also ban Russia’s flagship airline Aeroflot from landing in the UK, suspend dual export licences to Russia, and ban exports of some high-tech exports and parts of the extractive industry.
There has been an absolute ban on all shipping registered to, or ultimately owned by Russia from docking in UK ports. There was a loophole though, as ships owned by and registered in other countries could still transport Russian goods. There were two tankers due to dock with Russian gas supplies using this loophole.

The dock workers union have indicated that their workers will refuse to attend to the ships though, so that will close the loophole without the need for legislation.

How about every country Putin has enraged send a special forces team in?
Combined, they could take him out.
He's gotta go somehow, some way. He's made himself a loose cannon.

The world needs stability, not opportunists trying to annex land. What he's doing is a massive step backwards and the world is moving past one man shows.

A popular uprising, a CIA instigated coup, some damned thing. A heart attack, an aneurysm.

I still don't get the Nazi thing. Their president is Jewish isn't he?

Is this just Putin trying to excuse the non-military targetting?
In 2014 after the regular forces had given up and fled a neo-nazi militia kept fighting against the Russians and got official batallion status. They’re the Azov batallion. The idea of Slavic Nazis is hilarious but unfortunately they do exist.

Eh Bud, put down the popcorn covered in grease, this isn't a movie, eh.
Hunt is uniquely trained and highly motivated - a specialist without equal - immune to any countermeasures. There is no secret he cannot extract, no security he cannot breach, no person he cannot become. He has most likely anticipated this very conversation and is waiting to strike in whatever direction they move.

they initially invaded as "peacekeeping forces" against neo-nazis

ukraine is forcing men 18-60 to stay and fight

so Putin now has a legitamate reason to call them Nazis. its a massive stretch. but thats his logic i think

It's the Russian nrative, they are trying to explain to their people why they should be invading a country whose population many of them perceive as brothers and sisters.

They aren't there to invade says Putin, just to "de-Nazify".
