The problem is that China will rush to fill in the gap, and supply its own CNC machinery to Russia. The quality is good enough (never underestimate "good enough"). Who will stop them? They have a permanent seat on the UN Security Council - like Russia. They can veto any UN resolution - like Russia. The real lasting solution is for Russia to implode, and for its own population to dismember the empire into its constituent republics, and for "Russia" to be slashed back to its native province of Muscovy.
