Did CERN offer some russian scientists positions? To really fuck with Russia they should have said 'not only are we going to stop collaborating with Russia, but all scientists who wants to continue their work will be allowed to get positions here'. That would undermine Russia even more and be more fair to the scientists.
Sure, absolutely. It is often a part of the sacrifice you do when doing postdocs and sometimes also for professors, that you live separated or you have the family move with you. Some universities also allows for the opening of a second position for the spouse for an incoming professor. This is of course a different situation. Successful or not, I'd hope that at least some offers have been handed out, giving them the choice.
You are missing my point. If Putin says that they should come back (and I have now doubt that this would happen if they are offered positions) they would go back.
I personally think we shouldn't kick them out of CERN because after the war ends we will need to build Russia back better as well, politically speaking, since this war is unlikely to end with Putin in office.
