Oil is Russia number 1 export. There's a LOT of oil infrastructure.

And while they may be Russians, the vast majority of oil infrastructure is metal pipes and tubes, and big metal barrels. You can repair most of it with metal plates and welders, and Russians are pretty famous for bodging shitty equipment back into life. Not the important bits, but the important expensive bits are also easier to defend.
