The US has cut off the oxygen of Russian oil and is counting on geopolitical success.
United States sanctions against oil giants of the occupying country Russia are a strategic move aimed at cornering Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin. It is a blow to Russian oil and the economy as a whole that could have serious consequences. Washington is trying to extract concessions from the Kremlin to end the war against Ukraine.
"This is not just a warning"
The Sky News says the sanctions against oil giants Rosneft and Lukoil are a decisive blow to Russia's war economy. The aim is to cut off cash flows.
"The new US sanctions are not just a warning, but a real blow to the belly of the Russian military economy," the material says.
"Rosneft and Lukoil are the main sources of funding for the Russian military machine. The companies are a kind of double engine pumping funds into the Kremlin's military artery.
The United States is trying to achieve "weakening of the Kremlin's ability to generate revenues for its military machine" by sanctions.
Trump has "cut off the oxygen" to Russian oil
The journalists reminded that oil is a vital artery of Russia's economy, and according to observers, Trump's Treasury Department has de facto "cut off its oxygen."
What the consequences could be
Any decision in the political arena can backfire. By weakening the Russian oil sector, Trump is "shrinking the chest" of the global energy market; in such a situation, the consequences can be seen even at American gas stations.
The White House, however, believes that temporary economic losses are justified because the geopolitical benefits should exceed the costs.
"These are extremely powerful sanctions, and I hope they don't last long," Trump assured.
Trump's strategy is a combination of confidence and caution and involves "maximum pressure," but with constant monitoring of fuel prices inside the U.S.
Trump's strategic move
The U.S. restrictions are not just an act of punishment. It is a strategic move by Trump that aims to corner Putin. But the cost of making a mistake is extremely high: if energy prices spike or relations with allies falter, Trump himself risks being "on the ropes."
