Ah yes, those Russians that always state the truth and never peddle misinformation or untruths, ever.
If they were booted out of SWIFT they would soon care, but, highly unlikely to occur since the US would be deeply concerned about any potential move away from the USDs use in the global economy.
China is staying publicly at least fairly neutral at the moment, advocating diplomacy. I'd be more concerned about India they've yet to tip their hand in terms of support.
There's apparently significant distress amongst several Russian politicians at the actions Putin is taking.
