There's opposition from some EU countries to sanctions against Russia. Hungary and Slovakia for instance still depend on Russian oil gas, and are blocking or delaying sanctions. Other countries import Russian gas https://www.financial-world.org/news/news/financial/28200/hungary-and-slovakia-oppose-eu-sanctions-aiming-to-halt-russian-energy-imports/

This dependance on fossil fuel is putting the EU in a terrible situation where it imports from its agressor. Those billions of import contribute to Russia's budget and war effort.

Reducing import and reliance on fossil fuel from Russia, or elsewhere, is as important as helping Ukraine defend itself.

i concur and include that, along with all the sanctions, in the 'doing something.'

They're probably worried that Krasnov might be forced by his patron to intervene if they do.

i'd say that would expose him to all the world, but it doesn't seem like anyone cares since he suffers no consequences.
