Russia has resorted to selling oil to North Korea because they no one else will buy it. That is isolation.
Russia is also working to remove Taliban from list of terrorist states.

But isolation here also applies in political sense. There is no political support for Russia's invasion from the rest of the world. Even China has not approved the invasion.

True. But there is support to replace the unipolar with multipolar world. So no one of the big and medium players outside the first world will be too sad to see that the massive amounts of face USA and EU have put on the line in Ukraine are lost.
