TBH, I don't think "turning Eastern Europe and Russia into an extraction semicolony for the EU" can be considered a good development. Of course, we then had an even worse development.
Yeah, Russia was turning into a raw materials exporter for the EU which definitely wasn't great for them. In the end, things worked out a lot better for Russia than Europe. They now have reliable partners in the Global South who aren't trying to destroy them, and the war forced Russia to start industrializing again and developing an actual economy.
