Russia’s oil revenues above pre-war levels — report
The New Voice of Ukraine via Yahoo ^ | December 6th, 2023 | Unattributed

Posted on 12/06/2023 4:05:04 PM PST by Mariner

Moscow’s monthly income from oil exports is now greater than it was before the invasion of Ukraine, Bloomberg reported on Dec. 6.

Journalists noted that the $60 per barrel price cap on Russian oil, imposed as part of G7 sanctions a year ago, has paradoxically contributed to a profitable business for "dozens of traders and shipping companies" that are difficult to track. More than 45% of Russian oil was transported with the help of Russia's "shadow fleet," the report added.

This is because oil commerce is more important than the butthurt of a wayward Russian province.

Strange that we’re not hearing much from the regime these days about how their “punishing” sanctions were going to cripple Russia. Just saying.

A few points to keep in mind. The Central Bank of Russia stopped reporting economic indicators to anyone after the invasion, and no one is trading in Rubles anymore. Any data from Russia is suspect. No one outside of Russia has access to real data to know the real value of the Ruble or have any informed idea of the state of the Russian economy. Its all speculation not matter which authority puts their name to it.

It’s because Russian traders are smarter than western politicians.

Abundant evidence that this is an artificial conflict. Even though people are dying on both sides, the Euros aren’t playing for real. As far as the West is concerned this is a paper war and has been from the start. Too bad for the Ukes and Russians though.

Zeepers have assured us repeatedly that Russia’s oil industry will never tecover and their economy is being destroyed.

Why are they so easily deceived??

This result from “sanctions” is doubly pathetic because oil prices are well below where they were in Jan 2022.

If Team Retard had done nothing, Russian oil revenues should be down.

Pretty stunning reception yesterday for Putin arriving in UAE.
And very chummy with the Saudi crown prince.
Expect more agreed cuts in production to drive up prices

“Why are they so easily deceived??”

It’s an issue of cognitive capacity.

Think back to every Apocalypse movie you have ever seen.

What role did money play in society after the event? Think hard about this. What do you recall?

The banks won’t be able to communicate with the Federal Reserve. There will be no trading of stocks.

Want to know the state of the Russian economy? Here it is:

The sanctions are having a limited effect on Russia. Pretty much, it’s just the West boycotting Russia.
