> The action prevented gas shipments to the EU so it could have been used as an excuse by Russia to weaponise gas supply

Russia is increasing LNG gas supply after this pipeline break. https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/russia-boosts-ln...

The profit from EU gas market actually covers any possible costs of any EU involvement in Ukrainian crysis, except maybe nuclear strike by France.

So how much is the life worth of six conscripted Russian soldiers in an APV killed by an NLAW? I struggle to understand how you've done the maths. Furthermore I believe that the Russian Federation's current issues are not wholly money but ability to produce the complex components required for new armour.

Mobilized Russian soldier's family gets about 65k usd after soldier's death. The price of MTLB is about 50k usd.

So the whole pack costs about 500k USD(including ammo, personal equipment, etc).

In 2021 Russia's profit of selling gas to EU was about 150 millions of dollars per day.

You do the math.
