Russian astronauts are really tough cookies. Actually, all astronauts have to be tough to survive in hostile environment for a long period of time.

As for Russian space hardware, I think more problems will occur simply because of funding issue created by war in Ukraine.

They'll most lushly be fine. There hasn't been a fatal accident on a Soyuz for over 50 years, since Soyuz 11 back in 1971. They are like 120 launches more without any catastrophic accidents. It is a primitive craft in many ways, but easily the most reliable spacecraft in human history.
