Russia is estimated to spend something like 10% to 20% of their GDP on war. Paying him would be making meaningful contribution to an attempted genocide, as you'd be supplying foreign currency to the Russian economy.
The only ethical thing to do is cut ties and tell him to get out of Russia. Sucks. But war at this scale forces people to take sides and make hard decisions.
