The price of Russian oil is now strictly limited to $XXXX per barrel – approximately XX% below the average market price over the last three months. The sanctions package also includes a ban on transactions related to the Nord Stream X and X gas pipelines, meaning that Russia's plans to "rescue" this infrastructure through the US are now futile. Russia's hopes of blocking the adoption of the new package with the help of Hungary and Slovakia also did not materialize. Slovakia received a guarantee of protection against gas supply disruptions until 2028 and supported the EU's joint decision. Against this backdrop, India announced its readiness to replace Russian oil with Middle Eastern oil. On July 17, Indian Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri confirmed that Delhi was ready to switch from Russia to other sources (Brazil, Canada, Guyana, the Middle East). The number of countries supplying oil to India has increased from XX to XX over the past month, confirming India's readiness to adapt quickly. ‼️ How this will affect Russia's economy: ◾️ In the coming months, budget-generating oil and gas revenues should fall sharply (a reduction of at least 30–40% is forecast). Inflation will accelerate, and the ruble will weaken; ◾️ The room for circumventing sanctions is narrowing; ◾️ If India switches to alternative suppliers, this will deprive Russia of a market share that is extremely important to it; ◾️ The introduction of sanctions on Nord Stream operations "shuts down" potential loopholes and Moscow's "investment maneuvers" to return to the European market. The Kremlin understands the severity of the economic consequences of continuing the war, but is not seeking a political solution. Russia understands that the US is also considering the possibility of imposing new sanctions, but there are currently no signs that Putin is ready for de-escalation and genuine peace talks. Negotiations and the positions of the parties involved - the EU, the US, and China - are important factors that will determine how the situation develops and whether further sanctions will be imposed.
