This is really important right now. The new EU sanctions targets crude oil and Trump hitting India increased the discount for Russian oil. A lot of poor countries especially in Africa would love to buy that, but lack reffineries. So Russia refines the oil and sells it. Ukraine damaging Russian refineries obviously makes this a lot harder.
It really looks like Russia is struggling right now.
This is how the war gets won, Russia needs to run out of oil money.
I wish the oil price would half for at least a few years.
I would love to know why they stopped for so long. Must be some back room deals having been made, but if Trump is gonna sell them out, I guess all bets are off and cripling their economy is the best course of action.
Keep hitting it. I’ll gladly pay a bit more if it means Russia loses faster!
