It’s almost two years since Russia invaded Ukraine and the war is not ending anytime soon. The Ukrainian counter-offensive of 2023 has not brought the gains the country’s leaders and western backers hoped for. The pressure is on both the US and EU to keep providing Ukraine with the military and financial support it needs.
Meanwhile Vladimir Putin looks more confident than ever. This time last year, western powers introduced an oil price cap aimed at seriously denting the Kremlin’s capacity to earn revenue from its oil exports. It worked for a few months but Russia has found ways around it. Meanwhile, its economy continues to function reasonably well, despite the range of sanctions levelled at it.
In this episode of Business Beyond, we ask if there are economic scenarios that could force Russia to the negotiating table. Or if the Kremlin simply has enough financial firepower to keep going - however long it takes.

What the commentators failed to mention is that Europe is still buying oil and gas from Russia indirectly. For example, India buys Russian crude oil, refines it and resell it to Europe at a substantial profit. China gets more gas piped in from Russia, thereby reducing its need for LNG form the U.S. and reassigns those contracts to Europe at a higher price. Seems everyone is winning except Europe.

@AdvocateOfJamaica 7 ай бұрын

Good point, and that is exactly why they didn't mention it. You expect a European channel to admit Europe is being hypocritical by sanctioning Russia overtly, but buying their oil covertly?

@moffig1 7 ай бұрын

Thats not entirely accurate. The point is not a total boycott of all russian oil and gas. That would be too challenging. The point is to increase the costs on Russia. To make it more expensive for Russia and make this war have costly consequences for Russia. Which the sanctions achieve perfectly.

Not to mention that the Russian manufacturing industry is now booming. Many parts for planes and cars for example, were produced in the EU and imported into Russia for the sake of convenience. Russian industry has now been forced to build at home and now has awaken a sleeping industrial power. Aeroflot had finished testing their all Russian plane, all parts down to the nuts, bolts, rivets, and foundation, is made in Russia. The only thing they import are the electrical systems which they import from friendly country China. Big fail for the west.

If India (and China) are funding Russia's war, Europe and US are doing the same as well. The largest EU importers of Russian fossil fuels in July 2023 were Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Spain. In July, these countries predominantly imported crude oil via pipeline, LNG and pipeline gas from Russia. Reliance (Indian company) and one other big company refined Russian oil and sold it as significant markup to some Western European nations. Cheap Russian oil did not really benefit the average Indian. One positive impact it did have on the global economy was to prevent oil prices/inflation from shooting even further which would have happened if these India & China did not buy this oil. As for LNG, US remains EU's leading supplier in the second quarter of 2023, with a share of 46.4% in total EU imports, followed by Russia (12.4%), Qatar (10.9%), Algeria (9.9%) and Nigeria (5.1%). 18% of US's energy needs are met by nuclear fuel and 24% of this comes from Russia. The energy specific part of this report is highly disingenuous. They don't want to accept that Russia, whatever it's foreign policy may be, is an integral part of the global energy trade and they cannot really be 'kicked out' of the market.

@@SAapproves So your genius theory is: -> the saudis cut their own oil production to raise the prices -> the saudis chose to buy expensive oil from Russia at those higher prices instead of producing it themselves -> the saudis then sold that oil that cost them a fortune at market price to the europeans, making little to no profit, because why wouldn't they ;p ? You don't seem to understand that the saudis are human beings capable of counting and interested in looking out for themselves ;p. All to avoid the simple truth : Russia was desperate enough to sell oil at a price lower than the production cost for saudi's oil, so it was profitable for the saudi to buy the russian oil instead of producing it themselves. And then they sold it to the EU, making a bigger profit from which Russia didn't even the the shadow of a coin ;p.

Also it doesn't matter how much currency is worth, it's about interest against inflation (or currency evalution against $ for foreign investors).

@PeterSedesse 7 ай бұрын

@@smitias_8474 87% of US debt is internal, and the majority of the rest is EU with China at about 5%. Our current bond yields are at 3.9%. Russian current rates are at 18% which means that if Russia does borrow money to build military equipment it will be paying very high interest for it. But again, nobody is going to buy Russian debt, neither external or internal. If Russia was able to sell debt that easily, they wouldn't have shut down all govt projects for the past two years. Also Russians high interest rates have nothing to do with Russian real estate and everything to do with their inflation rate which has everything to do with the fall of the ruble. Diesel fuel was 300% more expensive for the October harvest than it was in 2022, which means all good prices are up substantially. Compare to the USA where fuel prices are down about 40% compared to last year and inflation was down to 3% last quarter. Putin is juggling the economy right now, wrecking the future of Russia just to buy himself a few months to get through his election without a crash. Interest rates at 18% means no businesses are expanding and none are starting up, but it does keep the ruble from going to 200:1 for a few months. As I said, the USA is building factories, roads, ports and schools, while Russia can build nothing.

Sanctions directly benefits the US with the exponential sales of oil, gas, weapons, and other commodities to Europe since the war started. It also indirectly benefits China and India. I would say in the long term it also benefits Russia because the sanctions took out all the US and EU brands out of the country and were replaced with Russian brands or brands from allies. These US and EU companies even left their equipment, know-how, and were bought off at bargain cost if not free. McDonald's and other food chains were replaced by Russian brands that offer similar options. Factories were replaced with Russian or Chinese manufacturers. Russia is one of the few countries that had a trade surplus due to this. More products made in Russia and investments from allies, and less imports or investments from the US and EU. The main loser was Nato countries or most of Europe. Europe are followers nowadays lead by the US. Nobody wants to be lead by European countries anymore. They had their chance a few centuries ago but they messed up destroying everything in their path, and now they want to lecture the world in human rights. 🤣

Western sanctions measures harm those who impose them against Russia. Sanctions have eliminated competition in the Russian domestic market, which is good for domestic producers and the Russian economy as a whole. Even though Russia does not have everything in the country that is required, for example, to produce chips or other equipment, it is supported by the majority of the world’s population. For example, China, which is an unusually technologically advanced state and is constantly developing, supplies Russia with the goods that it needs. But in the modern world, it is also not a problem to simply bypass sanctions.

Say thank you to Professor Guriev, who recommended imposing sanctions on Russian oil. This strategy only sounds good in the short term. Considering the global need for this resource, it is impossible to impose sanctions on a country that is the main and inexpensive supplier. I don’t understand why the European and American states listened to Guriev, he just wanted to settle personal scores with Putin. As a result, Europe suffers from high energy prices. The way out of the situation is always a compromise; there was no need to make Ukraine an aggressive enemy of Russia.
