I hope that decent workers inside Russia are also using ways to sabotage the war criminal's Nazi efforts.

Seems the Russian supply train will face another hurdle, the train option from Belarus is not an option anymore.

Russian troops cut off in devastating blow to Putin - major railway supply lines sabotaged

Belarus investigating sabotage of railway by organized group (Jerusalem Post)​

The General Prosecutor of Belarus opened a criminal case into what it called an act of terrorism carried out by an organized group against infrastructure of the Belarusian Railway, according to TASS.

The general prosecutor added that signaling facilities and other transport equipment were rendered "unusable."

The BYPOL group, which consists of former security officers who support the opposition in Belarus, said on Tuesday that a series of sabotage actions had targeted the railway system in Belarus, disrupting the movement of military trains in the country.

"Belarusians, today our country is drawn into a criminal and bloody war with the fraternal Ukrainian people on the side of the aggressor - the Russian Federation," wrote BYPOL in a Telegram message. "It is our duty and in our power to do real things to stop it, free ourselves from the occupation of Russian troops and restore the good name of our ancestors. 'Rail war' is the knowledge that we inherited, this is what we can do and what each of us can do."

From my POV, Western sanctions against Belarus should mirror those placed on Moscow.

I agree, but I also understand why that has not yet happened. Allowing Russian forces to amass within their territory was questionable, but the leadership has gone beyond that. Artillery and missile attacks are apparently originating from Belarusian territory (making them legitimate targets). If that is established, that is far different than merely allowing transit.
