Just do it

Sanctions that are being imposed by the west have yet to prove sufficient in order to make russia back down, excluding russian from swift is a small step and might also not make a big difference however it is objectively better than nothing.

Yes, Energy supply will be disrupted and all countries will need to find alternative sources, but with technology this is possible. Replacing your life because Russia invaded and killed you like Germany did in 1939-1940 is not possible.

Backfire effect combined with ineffectiveness

Firstly, a large part of European countries is dependent on Russian gas. This gas also has to be paid for somehow. If we don't want to have problems with energy supply all over Europe in the near future, we can't really afford it.
