The United States, its Western allies, and even private companies have been imposing severe economic sanctions and other penalties on Russia for nearly three weeks over the invasion of Ukraine — yet so far there has been no sign that Russian President Vladimir Putin is reconsidering his decision to attack his western neighbor.
