A fairly powerful and for many unexpected series of Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries can intensify the energy crisis in Russia. And this, in turn, will force the Kremlin to shift from military expansion into other countries to addressing its own socio-economic problems.

Rosneft has made significant investments in India and does not want to lose them. ExxonMobil has invested just as heavily in Sakhalin-1 and is equally unwilling to lose its stake. India has stakes in Sakhalin-1 and also earns good profits from Rosneft’s investments in the country, and it too is reluctant to lose all this. The only ones spoiling the situation are two people: Trump, who wants to end the war by any means, and Putin, who does not want to stop it. And who better than Sechin to try to solve this puzzle?

August is always a tense month for the fuel market in Russia. Some refineries go into scheduled maintenance, farmers buy fuel for the harvest, and ordinary citizens head to their summer homes. But this year, fuel is not just rising in price – it’s disappearing across the country. Queues, coupons, limits on sales per person… What’s going on, and what do Ukrainian drones have to do with it? We discussed this with oil and gas analyst Mikhail Krutikhin, partner at the information and consulting agency «RusEnergy.»

Let’s imagine for a moment that by some magical means Russia managed to get all sanctions lifted without exception, annexed all the territories Putin talks about, reduced the military budget, and began living as if nothing had happened. This is exactly what a huge number of people living in Russia dream of.

So, the meeting between Donald Trump and turned out to be brief, meaningless, and strange. There will be no ceasefire on the Russian-Ukrainian front; the war will continue. Until a peace agreement is reached or indefinitely – it’s anyone’s guess. But even if Russia has enough soldiers and weapons to keep fighting, will it have enough resources to maintain economic stability for as long?

The eighteenth EU sanctions package is, as usual, mocked by Russian officials for its ineffectiveness. However, public skepticism is accompanied by rather active moves from the Kremlin. Is this just a coincidence? It seems not.

U.S. President Donald Trump finally announced his «surprise for Russia.» The most important thing – there is no threat of 500% tariffs on countries buying Russian oil without helping Ukraine. There is a 100% tariff on trade with Russia – and even that with a delay. On this news, the Moscow Exchange index happily soared. But in reality, there is nothing to celebrate.

The question of the US entering Israel’s war with Iran remains the main topic on the agenda today. On June 12, the White House officially stated that the United States «is taking a defensive stance» and does not plan to intervene in the fighting for now. Meanwhile, American President Donald Trump repeatedly demanded that both sides «make a deal,» and recently insisted on Israel’s unconditional surrender. ‍
