As I predicted economic sanctions are being "felt" by Russians by end of April

Sales of new cars and light commercial vehicles (LCV) in Russia fell by 78.5% in April, the Association of European Businesses (AEB) said. Last month, 32,706 of these cars were sold.

Russia will be a Chinese colony.

China will certainly want something in return if it sends massive aid to Russia.

But perhaps China is not going to sink good money after bad, and will let Russia sink.
