There are simple explanations for each that leave Putin & SB unassociated. Putin probably wants to normalize CC as he eyes an exit strategy.

Also I agree that CC offers an exit strategy (along with degrading SWIFT). But I think they may be related.

Wondered if you thought CC was being used to gather data in the same way SWIFT is.

I hadn't thought about it, but it's an interesting suggestion. Let me think more about it.
