That sounds better/more reliable than when a party involved in this war says it.
Cool.

Hopefully with that much gone there’ll be more wear and tear on the other 60% to make the job easier

According to the internet oil and gas makes up around 20% of the Russian economy. About half of their oil and gas production is used internally so that’s about 10% of gdp being linked to exports (I’m sure that’s a very blunt calculation as internal vs external prices and supply chains will be different but it’s close enough for now).
40% of 10% is a 4% but some of that will be from gas rather than oil, although according to the internet oil dominates gas for the economic impact for Russia. So let’s say 75% is oil related. That gives us Ukraine hitting Russian gdp by 3%.
3% doesn’t sound like much but it’s huge. In percentage terms it’s more than the defence budget for most European nations.
