Have sanctions choked Russia’s oil revenues? – Mykhailo Honchar // Uncensored. VIDEO
Ukraine’s strikes on Russian oil refineries and oil logistics are already producing a cumulative effect: Russia is facing a looming fuel shortage, oil refining is declining, and the Kremlin’s war machine is becoming increasingly dependent on oil revenues, China, and global instability.
Censor.NET reports that in a new episode of the Uncensored project, Maryna Danyliuk-Yarmolaieva speaks with Mykhailo Honchar, president of the Strategy XXI Centre for Global Studies, about the energy war against Russia, strikes on oil refineries, the gasoline crisis, oil logistics, the role of the shadow fleet, and why oil refining is one of the most vulnerable points in Russia’s wartime economy.
The episode separately discusses why it is important to strike not only storage tanks, but also pumping stations, energy and production facilities that support refining, logistics, and the production of components for Russia’s defense industry.
The second major topic of the discussion is negotiations, the "airport ceasefire", the role of Trump, Xi Jinping, China, Iran, and Europe. Mykhailo Honchar explains why China is not interested in a quick end to the Russian-Ukrainian war, how Russia has become China’s resource rear, why the United States will not be able to easily pull Moscow away from Beijing, and why peace initiatives without military pressure on Russia only prolong the war.
The episode also covers possible European negotiating figures, Gerhard Schröder, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Kaja Kallas, Nord Streams, the Russian gas lobby, risks to North Sea energy infrastructure, and scenarios for Ukraine in the coming months.
