It is only true if you believe the following:

From the BBC

"Russia to grow faster than all advanced economies says IMF"

From NBC News:

"Russia is expected to grow faster than all advanced economies this year"

From Newsweek:

"Russia's Economy Forecast to Outperform U.S. Within Two Years"

From Financial Times:

"IMF raises Russia growth outlook as war boosts economy "

The last one is my favourite. The combination of sanctions and war has unified Russia and the Russian people as never before. Thanks to sanctions, the oligarchs who used to invest abroad are now forced to invest their money back into Russia. And thanks to the war, Russia has put itself on a war footing similatr to what FDR did to rescue the US economy in WWII, pulling it out of the Great Depression and putting it on top of the world.

To put it succinctly: The collective West's Ukraine project has only served to demilitarise, deindustrialise and impoverish themselves while it has proved to be a game-changing boon to Russia, both economically and geopolitically (BRICS).
