Russian Oil & Gas Revenue Crashes 46% & Economy Suffers $34 Billion Deficit in February - Joe Blogs



RUSSIA's Economy has COLLAPSED to its Worst Deficit in Russian History after the first two months of 2023 as Oil & Gas Revenues Crashed & Costs Increased Dramatically in January and February. The European Union Ban & Price Cap on CRUDE OIL came into effect on 5th December however the additional Ban & Cap on REFINED Products did not start until 5th February so the results for February only include a percentage of this impact and are likely to get significantly worse in March. In this video I provide more details of the February figures and discuss the problems that Russia is now facing.

that the sanctions hadn't hurt the Russian economy and that Putin had found a work around. Seems not so much.

And of course, the US mainstream media needs to be "neutral" and show "both sides", so they report in his favor.
