He was an Ossetian -- an Iranic population in Georgia.

I don't think that is correct. Ossetian is a minority in Georgia who Stalin marginalized actually, shipped them to Siberia. Some random source said a rumor claimed he was Ossetian on the father's side, but that is not conclusive. More or less, I think he was just the mainstream Georgian, as that was the only known language he spoke from his place of origin.

'Need' is a relative term in this context. The West has a higher sensitivity when it comes to these matters, as they are accustomed to the small high development margins. Russia, on the other hand, has a higher pain threshold. The war strengthens this as well, where Putin can construct war-time narratives, people acclimate to tougher times.
New systems/networks will be set in place to cover for the losses eventually, but there are opportunity cost trade-offs, inefficiencies, and initial curves that Russia needs to overcome. But eventually, if all goes well, they can look towards something new and promising.

no one is "loyal" to Russia. in fact it would be a very stupid thing for any country to be loyal to another country.
Turkey is looking after it's own interest which so far is being neutral, they also have not jumped into the sanction craze. Turkey for example bought billion of dollars of Russian weapons. they invested in the stealth fighter russia is trying to create SU57 and without turkish money it would not be economically viable, turkey also ordered 2.5 billion dollar worth of anti aircraft defense system from Russia. so Turkey is looking after Turkey.
China is also looking after their own interest and they will use Russia as a stick against USA.
Huge Breaking News
America is faking it.
Last year, the US imported nearly 700,000 barrels per day of crude oil and refined petroleum products from Russia - but that represents just 3% of Russia's exports.

3% is nothing.

What impact will the US ban on all Russian oil imports have and which countries will be most affected?
Some 44% of all Russia's exports are oil based, resulting in about a sixth of the Kremlin's tax revenues - but its biggest customers may take some time to sign up to a sanctions regime imposed by US President Joe Biden.
3% is nothing.
The disparity between America and Russia goddamn. In the 80s they were rivals, now it's like a son putting their raving elderly parent to bed
Biden has shown open dislike for Erdogan. Also, as a majority Muslim country, Turkey is distinct from most other NATO members. Geography is the reason NATO wants them, and if I were Turkish I wouldn't trust my future among NATO(assuming the world was even less plurilateral than it is now)
