Why is this not a bigger news story? For the last 5 months, ural oil price has come down in total with 22 dollar, 4.40 per month. Current price at 52.80. It really only takes a couple of months before russia runs out of funds.

Crude oil testing new lows, price today 59 dollar per barrel. Russia is in a hurry to get a peace agreement they can sell at home but whatever the peace deal, it will be to late to prevent a giant economic downturn.

Sorry but these are misleading statistics. The scale of your graph is max 30 million dollars. The exports from NL to russia have dropped since 2022 from 2000 million to around 450 million euros.

Urals oil fell on 12 november with 4.8% (!) to 53 dollars per barrel.

And the russian crude price followed. Current price (without discounts) 53 dollar a barrel. Russian budget is based upon 60 dollars.

Russian urals oil seems to be decoupled from the benchmark WTI. At the end of both graphs you can see the correlation disappear between the two. Of course, this has nothing to do with the new sanctions, because sanctions dont work and are even counterproductive, according to Putin and Orban.

Already 5 years wasted, let alone corrected for inflation.

In 2024 werd de energiebelasting op 70ct per m3 gezet. De inval in oekraine was 2022. De belasting in 2022 bedroeg 36ct. Dus de enormd prijsstijging in 2022 is wel degelijk gekomen door de oorlog.

Sanctions dont work, because look at the stock markets for example.

And how does the russian stock market perform compared to the sanctioning countries? Because I heard it only makes the Russian economy stronger and it does more hurt to the sanctioning countries?

More important than export volumes is crude price, and that doesnt look good...

Tomahawks or not, things are not looking well for russia. Budget assumed 70 dollars a barrel. Current oil price 57 dollar a barrel. Russia has to sell at a discount.

Afgelopen winter schoten de gasprijzen in februari flink omhoog, 52 euro op de max terwijl de gasprijzen in de zomer rond de 32 zaten. Toegegeven, in het jaar daarvoor was het andersom en vielen de prijzen in feb omlaag om daarna weer op te klimmen. Het is wel een risicovol spelletje zo.
