Why is this being done? Let's deal with this in terms of history and common sense.
In 1925, the Western states imposed a golden blockade on Russia.
What did it mean? Russia needed to be industrialized. There was little currency and Russia wanted to sell gold. Therefore, Russia was forbidden to do so.
How did Russia get out of the situation? Russia has decided to sell natural resources: wheat, oil, timber and others. Western countries tried to ban the sale of these resources, under false pretenses. Allegedly, unwitting workers and other nonsense are cutting down the forest! Only grain was allowed to be sold, in the hope that it would cause famine. And it really caused hunger. Russian people died of starvation, but Russia survived and carried out industrialization, then winning the war against fascism and Western countries that were on the side of fascism!
Approximately the same situation is now in modern Russia. Russia needs to industrialize now. Western countries pursue the same goals as before. They want to weaken Russia and cause famine.
But now the situation is different. Not all countries have joined the sanctions against Russia. There is China with a very large economy. Everything is good with food in Russia. Definitely Russia will stand.
Time is working against Western countries! Maybe someone should admit defeat before it's too late, and not raise the stakes?
