The U.S. and Europe effectively cut off Russia's economy Monday as a way to push Russian President Vladimir into abandoning his increasingly bloody invasion of Ukraine. Even Switzerland, a favorite home for the money of ultra-wealth Russians, said Monday it will comply with the EU sanctions and asset freezes of certain oligarchs close to Putin.

Good on him! Of real note here, the authorities know what he did, released him and are letting him leave the country. Nothing quite like an official “Attaboy, go get ‘em!”
