Trump may finish off Russia's economy after Biden sanctions

Trump knows how to stop Putin

German energy analyst Tom O'Donnell draws attention to the fact that the energy empire of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has been hit by a triple blow, and the new US President Donald Trump may even "bury" it.

Points of attention

  • Donald Trump has the opportunity to use sanctions to increase pressure on Vladimir Putin.
  • Sanctions against the export of petroleum products from Russia could seriously harm the economy of the aggressor country.
  • Trump will do everything possible to end Russia's war against Ukraine.

Difficult times have come for Russia

The German analyst points out that the Russian energy sector has experienced a series of events that have harmed oil exports.

It is impossible to ignore the fact that after the US sanctions, the Kremlin's key trading allies, namely China and India, closed their ports to Russian tankers.

The latest sanctions could significantly hurt Moscow, and sanctions against Russian oil could become a key weapon that President-elect Donald Trump can use as leverage to pressure Vladimir Putin.

Tom O'Donnell points out that the tankers stuck at sea confirm the fact that the sanctions of January 10 have proven more effective than limiting oil prices.

This is especially noticeable against the backdrop of a reduction in Russian oil exports due to OPEC+ quotas and excess supply on the market.

Trump knows how to stop Putin

According to the German politician, the future US president will try to put pressure on the Russian dictator.

What is important to understand is that Donald Trump will do everything possible to reach an agreement to end Russia's war against Ukraine.

Pursuing this goal, the Republican may impose sanctions on the export of petroleum products from Russia.

The new sanctions imposed on Russia seem quite significant. If Donald Trump really wants to hurt Russia, then as part of his desire to make a deal with Putin, he could simply impose sanctions on the export of petroleum products from Russia, especially from Russian export terminals located in the west.

According to Tom O'Donnell, this could really finish off the Russian economy.

They kissed Zelensky's ring. Fico spoke about a coup d'état

Fico outraged by the actions of Slovak oppositionists

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico is furious about a recent visit by members of the Slovak parliament to Kyiv, which he says was a "gesture of flattery" toward Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky.

Points of attention

  • Fico complains that the Slovak opposition has sided with Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelensky.
  • The Prime Minister of Slovakia supports the idea of the country's possible exit from the EU and NATO.

Fico outraged by the actions of Slovak oppositionists

According to the Slovak leader, opposition forces are allegedly preparing for a coup d'état.

Fico also added that his team "will be ready for anything, especially a possible Maidan."

He drew attention to the fact that Slovak deputies who arrived in Kyiv on January 17 "kissed Zelensky's ring" and allegedly promised him support for Ukraine's membership in NATO if they came to power.

Moreover, Robert Fico began to fantasize that the opposition had promised that Bratislava would join in sending a contingent of Western troops to Ukraine.

The government I lead will never support Ukraine's membership in NATO, because it will only lead to World War III. The government will also never propose sending troops to Ukraine to direct their weapons against the Russian Federation.

Prime Minister of Slovakia

Fico believes that they want to make him a servant of Ukraine

According to the Slovak leader, he intends to "respond" to the suspension of Russian gas transit through Ukraine.

Against this background, the scandalous politician threatened to veto further EU aid to Kyiv.

Robert Fico is the Slovak Prime Minister, not a Ukrainian servant, the Prime Minister pompously declared.

In addition, the politician supported the position of his party member, Deputy Speaker of Parliament Tibor Gaspar, who allowed the possibility of Slovakia's exit from the EU.

"I absolutely agree with him that Slovakia must prepare for all possible crisis situations that the EU could find itself in in a very short period of time," the Slovak leader added.
