Western sanctions are being weaponized against Russian citizens (Западные санкции превращаются в оружие против граждан России)

This narrative distorts the framing of economic measures by emphasizing that Russian citizens and residents are being affected by Western sanctions, while omitting key facts such as Ukraine's own military actions against Russian infrastructure or Russia’s own policy decisions. It creates a false balance between 'Western aggression' and 'Russian victimhood', suggesting that Russians are equally targeted by international financial policies rather than focusing on the actual geopolitical context of conflict escalation.
