Russia Ukraine war, page-197236

clutching at straws

even with the red sea crisis Urals oil only gone up a couple of bucks - Urals OP=$62.15....not much margin there for russia !

India can get it cheaper elsewhere apparently
a fellow BRIC ..... who when it comes right down to it ......don't care who they do business iwht as long as they get the cheapest price

but the the truth about the rusian economy cannot be known in war time

the idea that russia would ever be honest about bad figures is naive in the extreme
