This is going to be the strongest push to get Europe of Russia's gas ever seen.

Winter is 2/3rds over.

If it's only about oil - this is incredibly short sighted.

As others have mentioned - Nord Stream 2 circumvented Ukraine. All was well for oil. This blows that up in his face.

The ruble is down ~14% since this started. MOEX is down ~20% on top of that. Corporate debt yields are up from ~1% to ~8%.

This has erased almost 40% of Russia's private wealth in the span of a month.

For anyone thinking - BUT THE PRICE OF OIL IS GOING UP!!1!

Not Russian Oil - it's going down: https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2022/2/22/russian-oil-sell...

This is why Russia has been quietly funding all the anti-nuclear movements in the west. ...to keep the west addicted to his oil and gas.
