The debt argument is not worth much, see: Ceausescu's Romania.Except that the value of the Ruble went down because of sanctions and the Russian Central bank decided to let it float freely instead of pegging it to the dollar.
Oh, and those sanctions are a thing, too.
Contrast that with Ukraine, which has ballooning foreign debt.
There is also one big thing you are forgetting, Russia can produce most of the stuff it needs, from cars to fertilizer, food and energy internally.
They also have the tarade deals with China, where they and the Chinese agreed to trade in their own currencies.
Ukraine can not.

Foreign debt of Ukraine, 10 years(Remind me, didn't a bunch of countries decide to write off a large chunk of Ukrainian foreign debt after the Meidan insurrection?):

Neither is the autarky one, see: North Korea. Especially when in case of Russia the "is producing" part in some areas does not mean "is using what it is producing".

Above all, Russia is still importing electronics from Asia like everyone else and they won't get a massive discount because sanctions hit its currency, especially not with current global shortages.
Its Ukraine we are talking about, not Sweden. If anything that's one more mid sized country to be voting against progressive crap in EU. If they won't, who will?Lol, suddenly you are so very enthusiastic about the EU.
That eager to get more snouts into the ever-expanding >60% government and supra-government euro-trough?
That eager to get more grifters that will vote on Brussels' beck and call and tell you that you Poles are muhsoggykneeists and racists and istaphobes for wanting control over your own judiciary?
