“Oil is handy stuff when you’re fighting a war... Without it the fighting gets tougher and the Ukrainian’s aren’t running out anytime soon.”
You do realize that Russia is the largest exporter of energy in the world and that its output has grown through the entire war? Also the only energy the Ukraine gets is on our dime and we are going broke fast. Another fact you forget is that most of the coal mines of the Ukraine are in Russian occupied territory.....
Putin vows revenge? Zelensky is unable to foresee little details like that.
Or, he doesn’t care, since the American taxpayers is taking care of him extremely well. Let those tens of thousands of Ukranians starve and die; it won’t be him.
“You do realize that Russia is the largest exporter of energy in the world and that its output has grown through the entire war?”
Russia’s exports have dropped by 25% during the war.
Russian oil profits are dropping alongside the rest of its shitty economy. There are cars on fire in Moscow and St. Petersburg the past few days because Russia can’t pay what it owes to its people.
You’re picking the wrong time to post the triumphalist “The Russian economy is A-OK!” propaganda.
