Total Russian oil production per year is worth $122 billion.

Total Russian mining per year is worth between $150 and $200 billion per year.

If anyone thinks Putrid is going to give up due to Ukraine hitting his oil industry they are sadly mistaken. He’ll sell the kitchen sink before he will stop fighting.
