You can also donate to the Ukrainian army directly. Or to amnesty international. Or a tons of other options instead of collective punishment. What is the ordinary russian against the war supposed to do? They don't even have a real option of leaving the country as most other states don't want them because they are russian.
In my opinion this helps Putin in his propaganda that the west just hates russia.
Punishing all russians, well, punishes all russian independent of opinion.

It does help him, but you're not going to support those who do nothing or feed the machine waging war just so Putin's propaganda gets a bit weaker.
If the average Russian doesn't understand that the reaction is due to their (well, mostly their governments) actions, then that's another problem that only them can fix.
The sanctions are hurting Russia, so it’s at least partially effective.
Why should I? How about not mixing up civilian and military targets? Current trajectory is heading straight into total war, I simply would restrain on target military targets.
