The consequence of the attack on Ukraine for Russia will be isolation and a return to the standard of living of the 90s

The entire civilized world understands that it is possible to stop Russia's offensive on Ukraine and other free countries only by stopping trade with the aggressor, including oil and gas. It was the super-profits from their sale that allowed Russia to accumulate military potential and start using armed conflicts in order to raise world energy prices. The war in Syria and Libya, where Russia participated, increased the shortage of oil on the world market and the number of migrants to civilized countries. The war in Ukraine led to a frenzied jump in oil and wheat prices, which rose by 40-50% in two weeks, and also caused a large-scale wave of refugees from Ukraine to Europe, the number of which is approaching 2 million people.

Western countries provide Ukraine with financial and armed support and impose super-tough sanctions against Russia, which will lead to a rapid default and impoverishment of the population, as it was in the 90s after the collapse of the USSR.

Yesterday, US President Joe Biden announced the introduction of a ban on imports of Russian oil and gas in the country, and called on other countries of the world to join such a decision. "Protecting democracy has its price, but we understand that we must do it," he said.

Oil and gas exports provide half of Russia's foreign exchange earnings and are the main source of corruption on which Russian elites enrich themselves.

Following the United States, the rejection of Russian energy carriers was announced in Britain. The share of Russian oil in the country's consumption is only 8%, but the British government has promised to abandon it before the end of the year, so as not to create inconvenience for its businesses and consumers.

On March 8, the European Commission announced the creation of a plan to completely abandon Russian gas, oil and coal by 2030, while by the end of 2022, Russian gas consumption will decrease by two-thirds.

International companies are curtailing their activities in Russia one by one. McDonald's, Starbucks and Coca-Cola announced the shutdown yesterday, coming as a shock to Russians who still can't understand that they are also responsible for the killing of civilians in the neighboring country.

On the 13th day of the war, Russia was ahead of Iran and North Korea in terms of the number of sanctions imposed against it. If 3,616 sanctions were imposed against Iran over the past decade, and even less against Syria and North Korea, the number of sanctions against Russia has already reached 5,530.

If Russia declares default, the steering rate will fall several times, and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation has transferred all foreign currency deposits of the population over 10 thousand dollars in rubles at a single exchange rate.
