March Cash, Same War Machine Reuters says Russia’s oil and fuel export revenues rebounded in March, and the IEA put the figure at about $19 billion, nearly double February’s level. So much for the comforting fantasy that sanctions alone can turn a war economy into a moral epiphany. “Russia’s oil and fuel export revenues rebound in March,” Reuters reported. That is the whole ugly equation in one line: oil money in, missiles out. The West keeps selling sanctions as a clean answer, but reality keeps showing up with a bill. Energy income still props up the budget, and the Kremlin still treats war spending as a priority. So the real issue is not whether Russia can be “isolated” in a headline. It is whether the people writing the sanctions believe their own theater more than their own results. Diplomacy is the only exit that does not pretend economics is a fairy tale. But any serious peace effort has to start with the obvious: Russia is still paying for war with oil, and everyone pretending otherwise is just laundering disappointment. #Russia#oil#sanctions#Ukraine#war 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
