I think someone might disagree with you!

Boris Johnson under fire over ‘peashooter’ Russian sanctions
Initial UK measures widely denounced as too weak as PM urged to go further to punish Moscow for ordering troops into Ukraine
Tom Keatinge, an expert in finance and security at the Royal United Services Institute think-tank, was dismissive of the UK measures. “All the talk on sanctions so far has meant to be a deterrent and we have turned up to a gunfight with a peashooter.”
Jason Hungerford, partner specialising in sanctions at Mayer Brown, agreed. “To say the UK sanctions list is underwhelming is an understatement,” he said. He added: “Clamping down on those banks is not going to change the Russian economy a whole lot. The individuals are a bit more interesting — but they have been sanctioned by the US for some time.”
Anton Lopatin, senior director at Fitch Ratings, said: “Promsvyazbank is the largest bank in this list, but this is a bank focused on military financing. It operates with companies operating in the defence industry. Adding it to the UK sanctions list will have very little impact.”

I sort of think it makes sense to hold something back though to try and get him to stop going further.

Liz Truss takes swift retribution on Putin – UK to unleash might of £24TN army of nations
The Foreign Secretary outlined "coordinated escalatory sanctions" alongside the other members of the G7. France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Canada, the US and the UK make up the group and have a combined GDP of £24TN. The world's biggest economies are shutting their doors on Moscow in the beginning of a series of retaliatory measures expected against Vladimir Putin's government over its escalation of the crisis in Eastern Europe. Ms Truss said: "Our support is unwavering for the territorial integrity of Ukraine."

Peston has an interesting take on thid. He reckons any Russian organisation not sanctioned will move their money out of London now to avoid likely sanctions.

President Biden @POTUS
United States government official
8:22 PM · Feb 22, 2022·The White House
Today, in close coordination with our Allies and partners, I am announcing the first tranche of sanctions to impose costs on Russia in response to yesterday’s actions.
We will continue to escalate sanctions as Russia escalates.
We are implementing full blocking sanctions on two large Russian financial institutions — VEB and their military bank. And we are implementing comprehensive sanctions on Russian sovereign debt.
That means we’ve cut off the Russian government from western financing.
It can no longer raise money from the west — and cannot trade its new debt in our markets or European markets.
Starting tomorrow — and continuing in the days ahead — we will also be imposing sanctions on Russian elites and their family members.
They share in the corrupt gains of the Kremlin’s policies and should share in the pain as well.
Because of Russia’s actions, we’ve worked with Germany to ensure Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.

Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
One thing the U.K and U.S have done well is going so public with the intelligence. By the time Russia went ahead with it every scenario had been well-briefed out and expected. It gave little room for Putin to have any pretext at all.

Putin's best buddy, The Donald, thinks he's a genius....
Quote:
Mr Trump said in an interview on Tuesday that he admired "tough cookie" Mr Putin, describing his latest move as "genius".
"Putin declares a big portion of Ukraine as independent. That's wonderful. How smart is that? This is genius," he told The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.
"I knew Putin very well. I got along with him great. He's got a lot of great charm and a lot of pride. He loves his country."
