Finnish researchers have estimated that Russia is losing $180 million from capping the price of Russian oil. Every day.
The first package of sanctions is already eating money out of the Russian budget
But the best part is on. They believe that with the introduction of the embargo and restriction on oil products, Russia will begin to lose 280 million dollars a day.
If you list this for the whole year, it comes out to 100 billion dollars.
Of course, the final the result depends on the dynamics of oil prices and much more. The real amount of Russian losses will be less because of all sorts of schemes.
But this is the first package of Western sanctions that not only gradually squeezes Russia, but gnaws like piranha pieces from the Russian budget. That is, it cuts to the quick, and not to the future.
We should not be naive: Russian President Vladimir Putin still has money. However, there is not enough for everything and it will only get worse. This means that time is playing against the Russian regime. In February 2023, this game should speed up.
