Russia’s Big Win

War with Iran is driving oil prices through the roof, and Russia’s loving every minute of it. The surge in oil prices is boosting Russian energy revenues, giving Moscow a ton of economic leverage. It’s a pretty sweet deal for Putin, but not so great for Ukraine.

Ukraine Gets Sidelined

As the world focuses on the Iran conflict, Ukraine’s getting pushed to the back burner. It’s no secret that Russia’s been using its energy clout to get what it wants, and now it’s got even more ammo. Don’t expect Russia to stop using its newfound power anytime soon.

It’s a ridiculous situation, but that’s geopolitics for you. Russia’s cashing in on the chaos, and Ukraine’s paying the price. It won’t be easy for Ukraine to get back in the spotlight, not with oil prices this high.
