There are massive sanctions globally against products from Russia including Russian oil, crude oil to reduce source of income for Russia and restrict their financial flow for their war against Ukraine.

It is a massive sanction efforts from the Western nations but there are always dark markets and Russia actually have some friendly nations to make business deals like China, North Korea, India and countries from Africa.

However sanctions actually reduce their income and their ability to buy and produce more ammunition, armed vehicles because no sanctions can be perfect in reality.

You are delusional to think that sanctions can help fight Russia. Already now, many countries admitted they're buying oil from Russia at a higher price then the limit of $60/barrel set by the EU. Market doesn't give a damn about sanctions and limits. In fact, it works the opposite way - sanctioned goods and resources are getting more expensive (e.g. grain after the grain deal collapsed, oil immediately after the war started etc).

Even if the sanctions would work, it wouldn't lead to Russia stopping the war. Russia is a self-sufficient country. Factory workers are getting their salaries paid in rubles, military personnel is getting paid in rubles. Even if ruble will go to zero, Russia would still continue producing tanks and rockets and paying their military.

You can tell tales of high prices to patients at the home for the mentally ill

And the fact that you are lying is easier to be convinced than to breathe ! According to the "forge of lies" - Russian official channels - oil sales have not fallen, prices have even increased...but the budget does not receive more than 50% of oil revenues, compared to the previous period. Question : 2+2 = 1,5 ?

And it is very easy to understand why. India and China, very cleverly, and for their own benefit manipulate Russia and its oil market. Yes, prices are announced at 60 and even higher. But there is a nuance:
- a high declared price is an excuse to fool their population into buying cheap gasoline (as they do in India).
- A high declared price in DOLLARS, a small manipulation turns into.... half of this money gets stuck in India (friendship - what do you want !?

). The rest - lies dead weight in Russia, as India does not sell dollars or critical goods for rupees

)
- Also, China's purchase - the price is announced, but in the end - a pile of wrappers (yuan) in Russia and .... ALL, no more revenues, just phantoms and commodities for pennies, which neither Indians nor Chinese want to buy
