Russia’s profits from exporting oil, gas and fertilizer amount to more than €10 billion ($11.54 billion) a month, the chamber said. “Russia is the big winner of the new war in the Middle East,” Matthias Schepp, the chamber’s chairman, told dpa.
It’s only fair after how much they’ve helped Cheeto over the years.
Russia buying Facebook ads and writing posts cannot beat the influence of directly controlling the algorithm. Russia is helping Trump by making it possible to shift all blame onto Russia.
That is why Ukraine attacked the Russian Baltic oil ports recently. The opening of the Strait should help with the oil price though.
Wasn’t there a price limit where Russia could sell the oil for, set in 22? Afaik insurance would not touch ships above the set value, and uninsured ships could not dock in western ports.
Russia was selling its oil mainly to China and India, which are not western. If they get a high enough discount, then they are willing to take the risk. With oil at $100 or similar even something like $70, which is well above the price cap, would be a good deal for them and worth the risk.
