An area which wasn't discussed much in this thread so far is the increasing number of import bans by Russia, with Ukrainian juice being the latest. Such trade restriction on, to put it midly, dubious claims are nothing new but have now reached a considerable width and degree.

Such Russian actions will hit mostly both European producers and Russian consumers. It will put additional pressure on inflation which has risen a good deal, despite the large rate hikes of the RCB. Certainly Russia is walking further along the path towards increasing isolation.
