Sacrifice "much" of its economy? Isn't that a little exaggerated?

No it's going pretty badly. The energy price spike took out a ton of industry that is very unlikely to come back. If the current state of things is maintained it will just be a large loss. If similar shocks hit a few more times they'd be looking at deindustrialization.

Which tons of industry have been took out? The energy spike is over. I think all energy costs are now higher than the day before the invasion.
