- Russian people started to use cryptocurrencies as a way to overcome the sanctions.
To a very small extent. Chain analysis hasn't shown any significant volume rise on Russian exchanges. Most of it is speculation coming from anti bitcoin lobby who wants to fight anonymous exchange and turn people against bitcoin showing it as a tool of the rich and corrupt who want to avoid sanctions.
Even more incidents took place during the same time period. If something to be added please post it, I'll add to the list.
You forgot about the most important two most important ones IMO, that made bitcoin recover from its downtrend:
EU voted against PoS ban
Do Kwon, founder of Luna, is now buying bitcoin to back his coin. He really bought bitcoin worth 1 billion USD and is planning to buy 3 times more.
