I can add that Kremlin is using it in their propaganda. Previous years many Kremlin supporters said: “The West cannot make against us anything significant because they depends on our oil and gas and they want to get money from us selling some goods to us”. And now some people say something like that: “Ok, they imposed some sanctions, but they cannot impose really heavy sanctions”.
I mean that some agents can abuse a situation with many mutual dependencies like that.
