RUSSIAN Oil & Gas Collapses. Sanctions Continue to Reduce Russian Revenue as War Expenditure Soars
Video Summary
Russia’s economy is struggling due to the war in Ukraine, with a significant decrease in oil and gas revenue, down 45% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to 2021. The war effort is being funded by the Kremlin, which has resulted in a huge increase in revenue from non-oil and gas industries, now making up 2/3 of the country’s revenue. However, this is a short-term solution, and if the war ends, these companies will struggle to recover, and the long-term prospects for the Russian economy are negative. Russia’s national reserves are being depleted to fund the war, and at some point, they will run out, making it difficult for the country to continue funding its losses.
