Russia Ukraine war, page-240546

russ margin is lowCould you please supply link supporting your contention
that : "russ margin is low" ?
Do you have info on what Russia's cost of production is because
as a purported intelligent chappie, revenue minus imput cost=margin

Add to that there is a war of which "the first casualty is the truth"
(the truth that you keep on referring to) and that Russia & China
have a "no limits" partnership which means that that likely means
a quid pro quo in relation to trade and trade settlements.
ie: discount oil for discount Chinese import goods.

That, IMO, is evidenced by the sharp increase in trade between
Russia & China post Feb 2022.
