Soon Russia is going to start work on a pipeline to deliver gas to China, which they claim will export about the same amount as they were exporting to the EU prior to Western sanctions.

So...yeah...I'm sticking with my original argument that Russia is suffering very little due to all of this.

Sure their failure to conduct an offensive war against a country that is receiving high tech and modern equipment from the US and other Western nations is being exposed, but that's about it.
