In today's news:
"I assure you, we will overcome adversity, and we will do everything to no longer depend on the West in any strategic sectors of our life that are of decisive importance for our people".
- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov

That sphere of influence will expand over time. I wouldn't doubt that Kong Kong, or some other rich Asian cities, will welcome oligarch. This war is a huge transfer of power to the East.
