Fully sanction all Russian fossil fuel exports (drop the $/barrel cap), along with countries receiving them and interdict the ghost fleet that transports much of the oil on the high seas and confiscate the oil and the ships. Can't do much about the pipelines that may feed China, NK and India but it would blow a huge hole in Russia's economic ship. Typical TACO moves so far. "Oh, geez, Putin won't listen to me....I'll dribble a couple artillery shells to Ukraine to keep the their noble dying going."
