And all it took was two weeks of war and atrocities for him to do it.  It's sad that it took Ukrainian officials publicly pointing out that the US and its allies were basically funding Russia's war effort by continuing to buy their invader's main export despite sanctioning everything else.

It's the right move, but it shouldn't have required Ukraine begging/pleading for it to happen.
