By the time they get to sell any of it Ukraine will have displaced their European market and demand will drop like a stone in a decade with EVs, green new grids with energy storage and renewables. It might remain in the ground like coal, with a steadily dwindling price on international markets. EVs are coming and most cars and light Trucks will be electric, because they will be cheaper to buy and run than ICE vehicles, which will be as hard to find, as old fashioned TVs are today.


Russia's Catastrophic Oil & Gas Problem
its going to take a while for that to happen, there is still a window of at least 10 years, maybe more like 20, that oil will remain a valuable resource. a lot of those recharging stations are still powered by coal or oil fired generators, and a lot of cities are still using NG. just the time frame for replacing all the existing infrastructure is at least ten years of work, and how many companies are there that are qualified to do most of it? this shit will happen, but it aint going to happen tomorrow...China still burns oil and coal, India, Pakistan
you think this is going to go away soon?

You beat me to posting this. Shows the real reason Puty wants the Donbas. It's not his love for the Russian minority, but his need to pay off his Oligarchy to keep his head! If the Ukraine can develop and export it's gas it's deep shit for Putin and the Russians!
i think the only reason he want Donbas is because of the coal that there...and some of it is radioactive too

Their European market will dry up and in the meantime they are creating a rich future enemy that might want some payback, or at least keep them weak, while the social forces they unleash on them bring them down. Most of Russia's brains will end up in prosperous Ukraine and they will all hate the regime in Moscow. Russia cannot become a liberal democratic country without coming apart at the seams in dissolution, it is internally still an empire of conquest and Russian domination of other ethnicities. The last time they came close to liberal democracy there was trouble in Chechnya and in other places. Putin's task was to repress this by corrupting local elections and eliminating opposition or ethnic nationalists and indigenous people. Since the collapse many Russians have been leaving the more remote eastern areas and some have gone native as the brits used to say.

A friend in the UK said his grow light cost three times as much to use as it did a year ago. He's not sure he can run his lights any more. Back to buying herb.
Take that, Putin.
At least he doesn't live in Finland, where they are burning their pets to keep warm now.
Good thing, too, because they'll be eating them soon.
The West might be sitting in the dark, starving in a few years, but as long as it hurt's Vlad's feelings, it'll be worth it.
Maybe, if you have an extra dollar, invest in the Ruble.
Is your friend named Jim? Because Jim says Paris isn't Paris isn't Paris anymore, is that true? Is ruble? No, is potato.

Ambassador of the LPR announced the explosion at the Azot chemical plant in Severodonetsk
A container with chemicals exploded at the Azot chemical plant in Severodonetsk (LPR). The incident was reported by the LPR Ambassador to Russia, Rodion Miroshnik.


“A container with chemicals was blown up at the Azot chemical plant. First, it's nitric acid. The territory of the plant is still controlled by formations of the Ukrainian regime,” Miroshnik wrote on Telegram.


Since February 24, a special operation of the Russian Federation has been carried out on the territory of Ukraine to demilitarize the country. As its main goal, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared the liberation of the republics of the LPR and the DPR.


OPEC Weighs Suspending Russia From Oil-Production Deal
Some OPEC members are exploring the idea of stopping participation in the Russian oil production deal as Western sanctions and a partial European ban begin to reduce Moscow’s ability to pump more, the OPEC delegates said.

Exclusion of Russia from oil production targets is likely to pave the way for Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other producers in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to pump more crude. significantly, which the US and European nations forced them to do when the invasion of Ukraine sent oil prices soaring above $100 a barrel.

Can't help but notice the ruble is headed the way of the Zimbabwe dollar and their country looks to be falling apart.
The Ruble has doubled it's value. up to 58 against the American dollar. While every country there is abandons the Petro dollar.

Worth a lot more when you can't spend them anywhere. Funny thing, no?
Doesn't much matter if your export balance was so very much higher than your import balance. Russia has full stores and lots of cheap gas.
And TONS of foreign currency because everyone has to conclude sale in Rubles.
They can spend the money every country in Europe is begging them to take.
