@lesterbeedell9725 I happen to have some insight into the Russian economy since I have insight in one of the companies still doing business in Russia. The Russian economy isn't exactly doing well. Russia had a pretty nice surplus last year, which was mostly due to an elevated gas and oil price and a lack of imports due to sanctions, but this isn't really very sustainable. Russian Ural (the kind of oil that Russia is selling, yes, there are "oil brands" in the oil market) goes for about 45-50 bucks a barrel. For comparison, Brent goes for about 80-90. Sounds like not much, but you might want to compare that to the over 100 Ural was sold a year ago. There's also volume, since Europe is no longer importing oil from Russia and the trade partners for Russia now are India and China, and neither of them is as stupid as Germany to become fully dependent in Russia without reservations.
And Russia's economy is to 2/3 dependent on oil and gas. In other words, this is not going to be a good year for Russia, at least it doesn't exactly look good for the Russian economy.
