Three quick questions

Why are Russia only suspended from U21 Euros qualifying?

To me, suspension from the tournament is too much of a short-term consequence- not only that, a suspension can be lifted at any time. And this is compounded by the fact that the U21 Euros next summer are the continental qualifier for Paris 2024 men's soccer.  

So here's what I suggest FIFA does: remove Russia from the U21 Euros qualifiers. As a result, Russia can't qualify for Paris 2024 in men's soccer. I'm thinking that will be much more of a consequence than saying "you can't play in the tournament now, but maybe in a couple of months". 

Why is Russia in the EuroBasket field? 

This years' EuroBasket tournament is scheduled for September and, surprisingly, Russia are not only in the field but are in Group A for the opening round.

Which begs the question of why? 

As with the above answer, this seems like not even a short-term consequence. FIBA (the international governing body for basketball) should look at the situation and say "there's no way Russia can compete in a continent-wide basketball tournament seven months after an unprovoked peacetime invasion of a neighboring country". I'm surprised countries haven't boycotted the tournament with Russia in the field, quite honestly. 

There's another suggestion, though: if Russia isn't removed (they should be, FIBA, if you're reading), the least we can do is make sure none of Russia's games are on any TV channel or streaming service. 

Why is Russia hosting the short-course worlds in December? 

As with the EuroBasket question, this is something FINA (international governing body of swimming) needs to take a hard look at. Should Russia really be hosting the best short-course swimmers in the world less than a year after an unprovoked peacetime invasion of a neighboring country? 

The answer, by the way, is hell to the no. 

I do have some ideas for other hosting cities (take notes, FINA):

London, which still has the Aquatics Center from the 2012 games

Sydney, Australia

How about Atlanta? Georgia Tech's McAuley Aquatics Center hosted the NCAAs and will host another collegiate swimming championship meet next month. 

Anywhere in Spain: Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, Cadiz, Vigo, Elche, Getafe, Granada, Seville, Pamplona...

Anywhere in France: Paris, Nice, Lille, Rennes, Bourdeaux, Toulouse, Marseille...

Basically anywhere.

I'm not picky.

I'm really not.

Just nowhere in Russia.
