Putin’s decision to build up his forces along the Ukrainian border is associated with a bit of immunity. That is because has also dealt with Western politicians who advocate for Russian interests and then become involved with Russian businesses after leaving office.
Western countries have required primarily symbolic sanctions against Russia in response to its snooping in the 2020 presidential elections in the United States and a massive cyberattack on about 18,000 people working for companies and the United States government, along with other offenses.
