IMO it's just beginning of RU retaliating on "sanctions" that are closer to blockade in reality - an act of war. When RU characterized the sanctions as economic warfare, I think they will treat it as such. This is initial retaliation in kind to highlight mutual economic vulnerabilities before severe methods like cyber attacks. If west wants to reduce RU economy to a grind, expect RU to escalate (dis)proportionally. At end of day RU will lose billions, west will lose trillions. It's still early days, but my feeling is RU has more leverage than people expect because west simply has magnitude more to lose once warfare expands to other domains.
