All Russian business interest in this country should be frozen, Russian flights should be banned and all sporting ties should be cut. FIFA should expel Russia from the World Cup, if they are still in it and no Russian sportsperson should be allowed in any international tournament; the Russian people need to realise the contempt that the World holds for their country.
Basically we have to entirely shut Russia down from any contact with the west.
