The West is rolling out tough sanctions on Russia but going out of its way to preserve the country’s biggest source of revenue: energy exports

In the latest example, the European Union said late Saturday that it had agreed with the U.S., the U.K. and Canada tofrom the global financial system’s payments infrastructure, Swift. The move, if applied to all banks, would be powerful, essentially blocking money transfers in and out of the country. By cutting only some, Western countries are allowing payments, including for energy, to continue through non-sanctioned banks.
