Sanctions against Russia?

For the first time French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner mentioned yesterday the possibility of imposing sanctions against Russia for its conduct in the Caucasus. The left-liberal newspaper Právo considers this approach unrealistic: "The only sanction that would really hurt Russia would be if Europe were to stop buying its gas. But the EU cannot afford to do this even in theory because it would collapse before Russia even noticed the difference. Independence on Russian raw materials is a mortal sin. The EU has never been able to agree on a common energy policy. ... One could exclude Russia from the G8 group of states. It doesn't belong there anyway; it was only allowed to join as a gesture to Mikhail Gorbachev. Boycotting the Sochi Olympic Games would only be a moral gesture. So what can be done? A ban on imports of Russian caviar? Rubbish! ... The West has no alternative but to act rationally and try and save what can be saved. Both Georgian provinces have been lost. The main priority now is to save Ukraine from a similar fate."
