A lot of sanctions also seem to affect citizens of Russia, but not the government. Oil trade with Europe seems to hit all time heights (although some say that this will change in 2024, we'll see), but private packages get reverted.

There are a lot of people who had become sour over this and now support their country while they were against Russia before the "sanctions". Also, I read somewhere here that oligarchs now tend to return the money back into Russia, improving the economic situation, because of how sanctions on them aren't based on their actions but only on citizenship.

Also Forbes reported that $ billionaires in Moscow has grown by 12 and it now shares second place with Hong Kong in the amount of billionaires living there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
