Seriously, stop watching Russian propaganda...
Russia is a gas station that is going bankrupt.
Every time oil prices took a dive, Russia was on its knees begging.
At the end of the '80s oil went down to 20, the URSS fell apart, in the '90s oil went again to 20$, Russia went bankrupt again.
Who the hell cares about what Russia does anymore, they are done for, with 10 million extra barrels a day and this shutdown their whole bluff of letting Europe without gas and oil scares nobody and nobody who knows how Russia lies 20 times per second believes their bravery speech.
Do you know what sanctions have done to them? They have a lower average wage right now than Romania!
The biggest country in the world with tons of resources and land, the so-called global nuclear power is earning on average what an Mc Donald's burger flipper does in one week.
Reserves?
They have already flushed down the toilet in one week 30 billion trying to prob the ruble and help Rosneft, and here you have it, from their own propaganda tabloid:

In the global arena, a country must decide which field to play in and what bargaining weapons will be used to win the competition. In the process of dealing and willing, we must have a bargaining tool if we don't have it, we must first create a road map so that we do not become victims of competition. Russia turned off its gas to Europe in order to get low prices for goods imported from the Netherlands, Belgium, and Britain. Russian wheat and wine products were bought high by Belgium and the Netherlands because of high import taxes.
Russia has chosen its grand strategy that defense and energy-based economy will be used as a tool to achieve its national interests. Putin's professional and educational background also influenced Russia's policymaking to return to being a world actor especially in near aboard and against transatlantic domination.
In an interview with Fox, Trump said his objections to the war on Russian and Saudi oil prices. "It really hurts the US energy industry. In a press statement, the White House expressed the importance of the stability of oil prices in the global energy market. Trump also said he would review sanctions previously given to Russia, which were previously given to a number of companies from the White Bear country.
Geopolitically, no country views Russia with one eye, Russia's military strength is still large and the nuclear remnants of the cold war are still owned by Russia. Maybe Russia will lose the oil war strategy but Russia gets something bigger in the future.
