IMO and with due respect to your economic illiteracy ,
GDP is the global yardstick by which macro-economists
measure a country's relative performance/growth and which
is the determinant in judging when a country is in recession
(2 consecutive quarters of neagative growth) or depression
(a drop of 10%+ in GDP)

GDP is not concerned with the usefulness/outcome of goods/services generated;
just their generation per se.

In that respect, Western Economic Sanctions are not having
the US intended outcome on Russia.(so far)
