Yeah Russia has lots’o’money now. So what?
What good is all that money if you have nothing to buy with it?
Because Russia is currently under sanctions by most countries that supply useful stuff.
Look inside any modern electronics - you’ll see a whole bunch of parts that come from Taiwan, Japan, Korea, etc.
Taiwan Semi-Conductor Manufacturing Co. makes 95% of the world’s electronic chips. Russia has ZERO chip-making factories of their own, and is now cut off from TSCM and other Asian countries.
So Russia can use all that money to make domestic products - more lumbering tanks, katyuisha batteries, dumb bombs, etc., but can’t make anything high-tech
Ukraine is under no such embargo, and continues to be freely supplied, so they can keep making drones and other high-tech weapons that are proving decisive
money by itself is useless in a war
Do you think China would buy things, via Russian money, that will ultimately end up in Russia?
Do you trust all countries to abide by the sanctions imposed?
What about shell corporations with their country of origin not being in Russia?
What? Your president has chosen money as the weapon to damage Russia, and it has failed spectacularly. Putin is now raking in twice as much. The rest of your post is a mix of propaganda and delusion and unworthy of comment. Please try harder.
So the Ukrainians are now manufacturing drones...
And the Ukrainians are now winning. I guess that is why more than 10% of the Russian population have now become refugees. /s
so they can keep making drones and other high-tech weapons that are proving decisive

Not disputing any of your post, but where will they be manufacturing those weapons if/when their factories are destroyed?
Will Russia develop new factories to manufacture electronic chips?
