Support Ukraine more.
Support refugees from Russia.
Enact personal sanctions against 6000 war-enablers that Navalny team prepared:

And their families and kids who all keep their money in US, UK and EU.
EU is much closer, but it does nothing. Putins regime could've lost 30-50% of it's high-skilled workforce if EU or UK just made it easier to immigrate. E.g literally 100,000s of Russian IT workforce left due to war and political situation, but getting actual work visas is hard process and outside of country of citizenship it's only gets harder if not impossible.
But honestly west can't even help Ukraine efficiently. How can one expect EU to actually do anything to cripple Russia economy...
EU still provide visas to tons of people who continue to live in Russia and pay taxes in Russia, but dont give any visas to people who left and dont support Putins regime.
Meanwhile in Moscow, you have a good chance to get a 5-year visa from France.
Fun fact: the exact same phenomenon was being ridiculed by the White Russians, back in the 1920s. European countries were suspecting them of being Bolshevik, yet the actual Bolsheviks could come just fine.
Now, of course tourist visas are not really relevant for emigration, but it's an example of the attitude shown towards us.
Collective punishment is still a war crime.

A couple of months (more like years, maybe?) ago it was fairly easy to find many articles about FSB money being laundered through Vivid. But, lo and behold, a search for "FSB" and "Vivid" returns some very ...strange articles: https://imgur.com/VOCNvna
Did Vivid create specific articles to thwart any specific results from appearing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oz8RjPAD2Jk
In Germany only, the company "lost" 60+ millions euros (the information for Netherlands is not available/public?) - https://www.northdata.de/Vivid+Money+GmbH,+Berlin/Amtsgerich...
[edit on my previous comment: it seems Vivid moved from Germany to Netherlands, one might think that BaFin is doing something after all?]

Freezing someone stolen wealth has nothing to do with a war crimes.

Let's just say, for arguments sake, there is a child who is genuinely estranged from his war-enabling parents, living in Europe on his own dime. Should they fall under these sanctions? I would say no.
