Honestly Sqad, I don't think the LTA had much choice in the matter. If they had let the Russian/ Belarusian play Wimbledon, they would've faced a massive public backlash. I think I'd have liked to have seen them allowed to play, but their prize money instead donated to the Ukrainian aid fund. The better the Russian athletes do, the more money goes to Ukraine.

Yes.
If Russia wants its people to participate in the activities that those from normal civilised countries do, it must act as a normal civilised country. Poisoning people on foreign soil and invading the sovereign territory of a neighbouring nation, killing many civilians and starving those who remain is not normal civilised behaviour.

//can't help their country of birth can they?//
No. And neither can the people in Ukraine. The difference is (as far as this question goes) is that a handful of elite Russian tennis players have been banned from the world's premier tennis tournament whilst millions of Ukrainians have been driven from their homes, many killed and many more suffering extreme deprivation.
In 2018 56m Russians (77% of the 67% who voted) voted for Putin. . Only the Russians can rid their country of him and, bar a revolution, they won't be able to do that for another couple of years. You gets what you pays for

//We won't be banning UK players because of the balls up BoJo is making of the country.//
The difference is, maggie, the balls up that BoJo is making of this country only affects those within it and, when I last looked, I didn't notice that any of them have had their homes reduced to rubble by shelling and bombing orchestrated from Downing Street. Bit of a poor comparison, if I may say so.
