I think his hands are in the gloves but not in the fingers.

I don't understand why the EU didn't just cut literally all business ties with Russia on day one and then dealt with the fall-out (pun intended).
By now, we would have fully adjusted to an economy without Russian ties, and Russia's war chest would have run out.As it stands, the EU has transferred more money to Russia since 2022 than to Ukraine.

Because it would have meant a massive economic turndown and within weeks any popular support for Ukraine would have vanished.

Agreed, the correct way to handle yellow cake is with special napkins

Because we need gas.

I'm pretty sure that they're not. Look at the base of the glove.
I'm pretty sure that the hands are beneath the gloves.

You can see on the left one at the base. If he were holding it, if would be flat at the base. But it's wide because it's open.

I think that that's due to stiffness. I don't see how it'd be possible for the arm to be entering the glove on the right.

I think in the beginning popular support would have held. People, me included, were really scared and opposed to accepting the invasion. Now after the years support for Ukraine is much lower, Ukraine is set to lose the war unless some major shift in policy occurs and the half baked measures not only made everything much more expensive, but a lot of it even benefitted Russia by raising the gas price w.o. cutting them out of the market.
However solving the situation probably would have required a one time wealth taxation, putting energy related businesses under tighter control and scrutinizing sanction evaders. Of course that is not wanted in neoliberal countries.

Relax, it's just turd.

You're not totally wrong. I still think a little more time would have been necessary, say 6 months. But at that point in time, we should have made sure to cut every major connection, oil/gas/nuclear/steel/wood and to redistribute Russian foreign assets. We could have used the multiple GWp of Chinese solar panels stranded in European ports to quickly reduce dependence on gas in spring/summer/fall. We could have announced major investment in wind/solar/heat pumps.
Instead, we got the half measures you mentioned, assets only frozen, Russian LNG and tanker oil somehow still flowing freely, but with new middlepeople getting a cut and EdF keeping its mortal dependence on a Russian nuclear supply chain.
