To pull off the trick, it's using Russian imports internally, and maximizing local exports to the West, in part by growing its own fossil fuels to meet demand while soliciting investment in future green tech. Its leaders will ride this wartime peak of political value to both sides for all they can get.

The people in power evidently have no will to do so and are happy to be among the last generations of humans.
