If you hear that sanctions against the Russian Federation do not work, beat without thinking, in the direction of sound

A calm, leisure compression of the fingers around the Russian economy - exactly that we need sanctions against Russian oil products provided in June 2022 in the sixth package of sanctions against Russia (discussed for the tenth to reorient supply. Previously, Russia provided approximately 40% of oil imports. The world did not turn upside down, the world markets did not respond to it in any way - only Russia became worse. Calm on the markets is a sign of success of new sanctions.

And if you hear that the sanctions do not work - beat, without thinking, in the direction of sound. So says either a fool or a Russian agent. Panic on markets and price jumps is exactly what Russians would like. Then they would be able to bargain for the abolition of sanctions. Instead, a calm, slow compression of the fingers on the neck of the Russian economy is just what we need with you.

Everyone was able to prepare for restrictions: the EU and G7 found other sources of supply, India and China have taken the opportunity and knocked out their discounts on Russian oil and fuel. And in Russia it is already idle of 12% of the capacity of oil refining, then - worse, because there is no oil or oil products to store. Part of the sale was taken away with a significant discount of India, but the Indian government is also thinking about joining the sanctions.

Because it is quite clear to them that it is necessary to put on the winners. The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation publishes the data very stingle, but even it recognized that the Russian budget received 54 billion rubles less than expected. In February, it expects 108 billion less. "It is necessary to see that this discount does not create problems for the budget," - strictly the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin at the government meeting.
