Det finns naturligtvis många förklaringar till varför det går så bra för Ryssland, även om trådsabotörerna gör sitt bästa för att avleda uppmärksamheten från dessa förklaringar.
Export till Ryssland fortsätter trots sanktionerna. Den bara dirigieras om via olika transportvägar.

European transshipments head to Kyrgyzstan

Apart from financial and military support, another part of aiding Ukraine's victory against Russia is the upholding of sanctions by its European allies. However, a report by The Brookings Institution shows that these are potentially skirted by using Central Asian loopholes, Statista reports.
Exports from Germany and Italy to countries like Kyrgyzstan, for example, rose suspiciously in the aftermath of Russia's invasion.
Based on IMF data, monthly imports to the Central Asian country from Germany rose by up to 1880% in 2024 above the 2020-21 monthly average. For Italy, this number was almost 2000%, and rising. Lithuania and Poland registered similar irregularities in their exports to Kyrgyzstan, but monthly shipments have come down again since peaks in late 2022 and early 2023.
While European countries have tried to counterbalance Russia's high economic influence in its neighbouring countries like those is Central Asia, Brookings concludes that "this export boom is so large that it cannot conceivably be targeting domestic demand". The article goes on to add that the findings are circumstantial. Similar patterns emerge for German exports to Kazakhstan, Germans and U.S. exports to Georgia and German and Italian exports to Armenia.

Don't hold your breath for Central Europe to give up Russian oil any time soon
October 15, 2024
[..]
The Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia still rely greatly on Russian oil imports, attracting criticism from the EU authorities and other members of the bloc that they are not doing enough to diversify their supply. This is partly the result of infrastructure and refining constraints, but there is a lack of will in Bratislava and Budapest to end this dependence.
[..]
The Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia receive their Russian oil via the southern leg of the Soviet-built Druzhba (Friendship) pipeline system that runs through Ukraine. Hungary received 4.8mn tonnes (96,000 barrels per day) of Russian crude in 2023, covering more than 60% of its total oil needs, while Slovakia received 4.6mn tonnes, or over 70% of its total, and the Czech Republic 4.2mn tonnes, or around 65%.

Bland mycket annat. Men man kan förstås strunta i att debattera förklaringarna och istället ägna sig åt trams, tjafs, personangrepp och off topic, eller helt enkelt bara sitta i sin lilla väst-bubbla och blunda.
