    I’ve read somewhere they’ve got about 3-6bn from abnormal prices since America-Iran war. That doesn’t cover the increased military spendings that completely obliterate their budget, but there is nothing good about USA stopping aid to Ukraine and doing stuff that’s directly beneficial to russia. 3bn is a lot of ammo.

      Is a lot of ammo…if it was even used for that.

      This is my argument that money Russia earned from the temporary sanction lift was just pocketed away by the Oligarchs, not put into military spending
