It is like Russian math:

You have completely misrepresented the facts. You can earn EQM. EQP, EQS, and RDM on all flights as they are a full member of
oneworld.
AA has not worked out a redemption scheme for eastern Russia, therefore has imposed a restriction on All Partner Awards to Eastern Russia. You still have the option of booking a
oneworld award, which is mileage based - and travel to the S7 destinations in the Russian far east.
The sky is not falling.
