Det är en förvirrad argumentation. Ryssland förlorar stort på sanktionerna. Du menar att de tjänar pengar på det, vilket är fel.

Despite the dimming outlook, however, the Russian petroleum industry was able to shift its export market towards China and India but also Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Morocco. Russia's diesel exports in late winter of 2023 are heading for record despite EU sanctions, according to Bloomberg News. Shipments of diesel type fuels surged to 1.5 million barrels in the first two trimesters of March 2023, the highest volume since data was collected in 2016. The IMF predicts that Russia's economic growth would be at only 1%, down from 3.5% before 2014, when it annexed the Crimea from Ukraine. Russia's federal budget balance had hit a record deficit of 4 trillion rubles in late 2022, and economists predicted a further isolation of the Russian economy. Meanwhile later that month, Mr. Putin and Chinese PM Xi Jinping had met again also to further increase economic cooperation particularly in the area of high technology and energy. Despite Russia's present slow growth, it has increased its military output, as the production of finished metal goods increased by 7% in 2022 due to the conflict in the Ukraine.[281][282]
In early April 2023, Bloomberg news noted that Russia's seaborne crude oil exports were soaring due to the constrained pipeline deliveries to Western Europe. According to ship-tracking data, the nation's shipments surged by 1 million barrels/d to a new high of 4.13 million barrels. Data also indicates that most sales were conducted below the price cap of 60$/barrel, an indication that the price cap is effective to limit Russia's financial gains. Even the announced OPEC+ production cut, as a wider move to stabilize oil prices, has been viewed as not constraining the flow of oil further. The loss of pipeline markets increased Russia's maritime shipments by an additional 500,000 barrels/d, including record deliveries to China and India, but smaller flows to Turkey.[283] Japan, however, carved out an exemption for itself, buying Russian oil above the price cap, just below 70$/BBL with a volume of 748,000 barrels in the first two month of 2023. The situation for Japan has been interpreted as a gain for Russia, avoiding further isolation of its economy.[284]
Det här är hos wikipedia. Det står tidigare att de slog rekord i cash från just energi. Men det är ju narrativet som spelar roll.
