UK bans gaming controller exports to Russia to hinder military use

Or not strip them of their nukes in promise of protecting them only to turn our backs on them when they needed protection...

I would add to that entire world watched events unfolding with horror and on everyone's mind was Ukraine gave up nukes. For promises that turned up empty. Now they give up precious rare earths "deal". US and UK shot themselves in the head with that entire endeavor. Everyone seen it, nobody going to forget the betrayal of Ukraine.

Why should "every other country be encouraged to play along"?
Outside of this groupie that calls itself "the west," which represents only 15% of the planet, the rest (even inside this small group) don't give a d..n about Ukraine, or directly or indirectly support Russia.
Does anyone wonder why?

If Ukraine falls, what’s stopping Putin from stopping there? EU has lived this movie before; an “Iron Curtain” will descend across Europe AGAIN. That is KGB officer Putin’s goal, to Make Mother Russia Great Again.

As I pointed out, most of the world is not on your page.
Have you ever wondered why?
Furthermore, the media, politicians and other vermin endlessly say and repeat that Russia can barely advance a couple of kilometers, that they're finished, etc., at the same time they say and repeat they'll reach Lisbon. Some bipolarity disorder?
So, where will they go? Their entire western flank is NATO, 30+ armies. Or is this organization so weak, and/or useless in its theoretical commitments?
On the other hand, I doubt Russia is interested in all of Ukraine. Certainly not the westernmost regions, for many reasons. Those would be left as a problem for the European Union.

And anyway, this announcement has such a low PR level that it's embarrassing, as others have commented.
