Don't need any Russophobia to see that Russia will have troubles to maintain it's fleet pretty soon if those sanctions keep on running. They are already missing significant parts which came from the West for all kinds of manufacturing and it will get worse and worse. While China can provide basic parts at a high price, they can't provide it all.
I wonder how long it will take until the nuclear fan club starts recognising the risks which will result from this development. Not only in Russia but also in countries which bought into a nuclear/energy dependency from Russia.
Same considerations should go for countries which buy into nuclear dependencies from China.
