“The West” is perfectly happy to see Russia sell every drop of oil Russia can produce — if Russia doesn't make much profit on it. It is time for you to open your eyes. In 2022 the Russians made $120 Billion more from their energy exports than they did in 2021. This was on less volume.

That’s correct, but, you’d better check Russia’s own figures for early 2023.
Please do try to keep up.

Also very significant is the pattern of Russia’s VAT tax revenues most recently. That’s probably a better indicator of overall economic health. GDP is “tricky” as it gets badly distorted by wartime spending (will apply to us too, of course, once weapons production is ramped up.)
