It is the West that are suffering from the sanctions. Look at how much everything has gone up all over Europe. Gas prices, electrickery, food. It isn't all down to Ukraine but we will be the ones that give up first.

Russia is still selling its gas, albeit at a reduced rate and it is suffering but suffering seems to be a Russian way of life. It isn't for the West.

The Russian economy is growing healthily. It's quite clear the Russians started planning for this conflict a long time in advance. For example, I think around ten years ago they were funding green groups who were pushing the west away from their own sources of fossil fuels like fracking, and pushing us to rely on Russian oil (not exactly well reported, but it did make at least one article in the guardian).

As a result, the people who are suffering from the sanctions, are not the Russians, who clearly ensured other ways to sell their oil and gas, but the west and particularly those like Germany which relied on Russian gas.

The Russians are just laughing at us.
