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.

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

Oh, I don’t doubt it. Biden’s disastrous energy policies are no doubt a contributor. Biden has in effect provided more aide to Russia in their war effort than to Ukraine.
