Yep. Until they stop Russian packets. Fortunately it does not require physical action.

And we should stop all VPN services that allow Russian customers as well?

To use a VPN service you must be able to reach the VPN provider. If Russian packets are allowed in the VPN provider country that should also be firewalled.

So yes, but that would be unnecessary because the country hosting the VPN server should block Russian IPs.

That means that we would require all countries in the world to block Russian IPs, that's hardly doable. We can't really agree on anything on a global scale.

I just geoblock all traffic from China and Russia for my web sites but it doesn't really stop them.

No, we'd just need to ban peering with anyone who peers with a Russian AS.

"Shadow peering" may be a thing for a while but you can't hide a country's worth of Internet traffic.
