The new round of sanctions against Russia by the EU is indeed hitting at its vital points, which is quite effective. However, this is not the whole story. It should be noted that since the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia has been sanctioned dozens of times, and it has basically cut off its economic ties with European and Western countries. Therefore, as long as European countries have needs for natural gas and oil, they will eventually find their way to the EU, albeit through a few intermediaries.
The only problem now is that Russia's geopolitical situation is very poor. In World War I and World War II, Russia had enough allies in Europe. Now, however, Russia has no allies in Europe. Some European countries that are unwilling to join the war, such as Serbia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary, can only be caught up in the situation, and are afraid to have much trade with Russia.
Some countries can only maintain private contacts bit by bit, while more EU countries choose to continuously support Ukraine. These five sanction measures are quite harsh, making it difficult for Russia to fund the war, which is a fact.
Therefore, in the opinion of the blogger, it is not about whether Russia can withstand or not, but rather that it must withstand. If it cannot, it will only be split up until the end. Ultimately, it may collapse. There's no turning back once the bow is drawn. Since Russia has chosen to fight to the end, it must be prepared for the consequences of continuous sanctions, and must endure it until Ukraine collapses!
