The repercussions for Russia’s economy are severe. As major consumers grow hesitant, and alternative suppliers like Saudi Arabia and the United States ramp up energy exports, Russia finds itself increasingly isolated and economically strained. With the loss of support from China and India, who were vital outlets for Russian oil, Russia’s ability to sustain its war effort and economic stability diminishes rapidly.
The pivotal point is that Russia’s economy is now on a decline that appears irreversible as long as Ukraine continues to resist and international support remains steady. The existing infrastructure and resource bases are being undercut by shifting global supply and demand, leaving Russia with fewer options to recover.
