The US and its allies are in the process of sending Ukraine billions of dollars in financial and military aid to help them fight the invading Russians. The US and its allies have also tried to sanction Russia as severely as possible for their aggression in Ukraine. The most severe sanctions would be for all countries to stop all payments to Russia for oil and gas. The US as already taken this step.
Ironically, Western Europeans are with one hand giving the Ukrainians weapons to fight the Russians and with the other hand giving Russia the money to buy armaments to kill Ukrainians. Unfortunately, Germany, for example, gets nearly half of its gas from Russia, which Germany uses for heating buildings and homes. Therefore, Russia is holding the Germans hostage. The Germans would be freezing and paying severely at the gas pumps if they cut off all payments to Russia for gas and oil immediately. Germany has promised to cut gas payments to Russia by two-thirds by the end of the year, but that is the quickest they can act.
