This is just one anecdote and to be treated as such, but I think it's interesting: While India still buys Russian oil, it seems they demand huge discounts: https://hindustannewshub.com/russia-ukraine-news/india-demanded-to-increase-discounts-on-russian-oil-to-40-per-barrel-the-moscow-times/ https://hindustannewshub.com/russia-ukraine-news/india-deman... I actually read it on the Russian language Moscow Times first, which mentions Bloomberg, but I'm linking this English article (which mentions MT as source). Another article, on the English Moscow Times (4th March): "Russia Running Out of Oil Customers" -- https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/03/04/russia-running-out-of-oil-customers-a76766 https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/03/04/russia-running-out... So it looks like even though Russia still finds buyers it's not easy for them regardless. Similar for technology, again linking to an English version of what originally was a Russian language article on the Moscow Times (.ru version). It looks like even China does not want to break sanctions on technology sales to Russia: https://hindustannewshub.com/russia-ukraine-news/china-has-joined-the-technological-blockade-of-russia-the-moscow-times/ https://hindustannewshub.com/russia-ukraine-news/china-has-j... I'm reading a lot of "The sanctions don't work", citing that street life in Moscow seems normal. In reputable major German news sites such as Der Spiegel oder Die Zeit, for example, or from some Republicans yesterday (the Washington Post reported).
