Russia's revenues from oil exports have plummeted by almost half over the past year, although the volumes have remained relatively stable. Along with the decline in global prices, sanctions have played a significant role in this downturn. However, their effect could have been even more significant as the price cap on Russian oil is yet to be put into effect, according to a group of experts studying shipments from the port of Kozmino in the Russian Far East.

The refusal to collaborate with Russians, even those opposed to the war, has emerged as a notable phenomenon in the Russia-Ukraine war. Experts have pointed out that such a phenomenon was not observed, for example, during the Yugoslav wars.

Russia's oil export revenues fell by almost half over the year, although volumes remained at approximately the same level. Along with the decline in world prices, sanctions made a certain contribution to this. But their effect could be more significant, because the price ceiling on Russian oil, in fact, never came into effect, according to a group of economists who studied supplies from the port of Kozmino in the Far East.

The refusal of Ukrainians to cooperate even with those Russians who oppose the war became a rather unusual phenomenon of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Nothing of the kind, for example, was observed during the Yugoslav wars, experts testify.
