Is that why Zelenskyyy's Raiders are fleeing Bakhmut as I type?
The ebb and flow of a particular battle has very little to do with the strategic impacts of the war. Russia has lost roughly half of all of its tanks. This significantly reduces the ability of Russia to threaten its neighbors.
Thus, the ability for Russia to influence the adoption of BRICs vs the Dollar is greatly reduced. In fact, the losses have started to reach the point where NATO and the US are a better option for border nations to align with.
