Because that’s export oriented, hits to it would be more likely to hurt the government’s revenue. But that’s not been the focus of these more recent attacks. These attacks seem to primarily impact the DOMESTIC market.

Russia had banned the export of gasoline by anyone other than producers for a while. The goal was to keeping the gasoline price on the domestic market low. But then they also banned the producers from exporting, again in an effort to keep domestic gasoline prices low.

But now you’re seeing shortages of gasoline, and it’s likely that Russia may no longer be able to meet domestic demand. That causes a who different set of problems. Because imagine what happens when there’s not enough gasoline to do all the things that need doing?

On top of that, increased prices then carries over to increased costs on everything else. And these costs may not translate to higher prices on goods because of price controls.

So, instead of what you would expect: I Increased prices of goods because of increased production costs. What you may see instead is: More businesses disappearing and empty shelves.

And of course, all of this means big financial problems for the oil refineries. Depending on the level of damage that Ukraine is able to inflict on things like: AVT towers, and number that they destroy, it could be catastrophic for Russia.

Because those towers are made to last very decades. There are few places that make them, and orders are planned years in advance. You can’t just “jump the line” and they can’t make that many of them at a time even if they could jump the line.

So “how bad” it gets depends on where Ukraine hits. How much they destroy. If they hit enough, hard enough, they could potentially cripple Russia for years to the point of a humanitarian crisis. And there won’t be enough production capacity in the world to fix it quickly

And even if there was, money makes the world go round, and Russia doesn’t have it.

No amount of money pumped into russia will help the lives of it's citizens.

Not in its current state. I’ve honestly thought about this a long time and I don’t see any way that the lives of people living in Russia actually improve long term without it collapsing into smaller countries first.
