USA has a lot of common enemies! If china raises just 50cent per kg of plastic price, it can fund entire Ukrainian operations!And how does it get the gas there? With milk cans? Russias entire infrastructure is centered to Germany. Once it stops, all this infrastructure can be written off, since Russia would lose its entire market there. To build pipelines to China and India in same capacity will take 5-10 years.
In other words, Russia is financial dead.
Btw the sanctions are not illegal and fully comply with EU law. I would not call it sanctions either, we call it special economic operation.
