It's standing due to artificial means, Russia's economy is imploding as investments dry up, and Russia runs out of cash quickly.
It's not impressive, it's the exact same thing that Nawas Sharif did during his tenure, before we found out that he was manipulating the numbers to make the economy seem stronger than it actually was.
A trick even I fell for.
Literally, no one with a brain was saying that Russian sanction wouldnt hurt, but the deflation has more to do with years of dealing with lock downs, as well as dealing with austerity as debt balloons across NA and EU.
The war just made worse what was already happening.
Russian as seized territory, but control is still tenuous at best, as we're seeing Russian suffering casualties in areas deep inside Russia's claimed control, meaning we're seeing a heavy amount of partisan warfare.
This idea that Russia is dominating is a myth. The truth is that Russia is suffering unsustainable losses to gain territory, while Ukraine is being careful and retreating when they deem they'll lose too many men defending territory, and would rather lure Russian forces into traps, or make Russia pay heavy costs for taking territory using long range artillery and UCAVs.
Kherson is now under threat, and I fully predict that Russia will lose it soon. The Russians know this, which is why they're diverting forces towards kherson from Donetsk, which means Russia's Donetsk forces are getting more and more stretched as well, thus weaker.
Temporarily gaining territory isn't how you win wars, forcing your opponent to suffer significant losses is how you do so, which is exactly what Ukraine is doing to Russia.

Russia economy is full in chinese hands. There is nothing to be proud of. Putin will knee his way to Beijing if Xi Jinping has a bad day.
As for Russian land grabbing, this war of attrition will continue for years. Let’s see who has the longer breath. Russia strategy is taking more lands, Ukraine strategy is killing more Russians.

An embargo is not an act of war. That is simply refusal to trade. You are mixing it up with a blockade. This makes Asia the region that brought Asia, Australia and America into the war.
According to Your argumentation ME neutrality is unimportant, or do You claim that no European country declared neutrality?

Biden and company must be desperate if they're trying to resurrect a guy who died in 2020, and then claim as if they took him out 2 years later.

Ukraine war is no relevant from a world issues point of view. It's just a excuse for West/Russia breakup.
The important is the economic break up between Russia and the West.
The important is avoid Russian elite from live/make tourism in West countries and stop sell them Western luxury items.
That is what hurt to Russia elite, and that will make bring their knees, like it happened in 80s.
Russian elite dont care about if die one thousand or one million poor Russian soldiers. They care if they can't buy iPhone or Western expensive brands of cars and clothes.
