Nell’ultimo episodio di Ukraine This Week, Anna Belokur esamina come la Russia e i suoi alleati hanno rapidamente ampliato l’uso dei droni d’attacco a lungo raggio – e perché gran parte del mondo rimane impreparata a difendersi da loro. I droni Shahed di progettazione iraniana sono apparsi per la prima volta nella guerra della Russia contro l’Ucraina nel 2022. Da allora, Mosca ha aumentato la produzione e sviluppato le proprie versioni migliorate, lanciando attacchi di droni di massa contro le città e le infrastrutture ucraine quasi quotidianamente. L’episodio spiega come funzionano queste armi e perché sono così difficili da abbattere. Poiché i paesi dal Medio Oriente all’Europa si trovano ora ad affrontare minacce simili, l’esperienza sul campo di battaglia dell’Ucraina è diventata uno dei pochi casi di studio reali di guerra con droni su larga scala.

Why should Ukraine help? This entire war with Iran is to funnel extra money to Putin…
Is the war in Iran helping Rusia to sell oil?
Yes—indirectly, the war involving Iran can help Russia sell more oil, mainly because it pushes global oil prices up and disrupts competing supply. But the effect depends on how long the conflict lasts and how markets respond.
Here are the main mechanisms:
1. Higher oil prices benefit Russia
Conflicts in the Middle East often cause oil prices to rise because markets fear supply disruptions. In the current crisis, prices have surged sharply and analysts warn they could exceed $100 per barrel due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on energy infrastructure.
Russia is one of the world’s largest oil exporters, so higher prices mean higher revenue for every barrel it sells.
2. Disruption of Middle East supply
About 20% of the world’s oil normally passes through the Strait of Hormuz. When shipping is disrupted or threatened during the conflict, global supply tightens.
If oil from Iran or nearby producers becomes harder to ship, buyers look for alternative suppliers, including Russia.
3. Some countries may buy more Russian oil
Reports say the conflict has already led to a noticeable increase in demand for Russian energy products, especially from countries trying to replace disrupted Middle Eastern supplies.
For example, countries such as India have been increasing purchases from Russia as they diversify away from unstable Gulf supplies.
4. Sanctions pressure could weaken
If the crisis causes energy shortages, some governments might relax sanctions or enforcement on Russian oil to stabilize global supply and prices.
That would make it easier for Russia to export.
In short:
The Iran war pushes oil prices up and disrupts supply.
That often benefits Russia financially because it sells oil at higher prices and may gain new buyers.
This is an important month for Russia, they have…
1: Stopped the 90 Billion EU loan through Orban
2: Stopped the next round of sanctions through Orban
3: Advisors are in Hungary to make sure Orban cheats the election
4: The US – Iran war has driven oil prices up and the US has given India a waiver to buy Russian oil
Ukraine and the coalition of the willing need to get hardcore and make their own moves, everything the US does under Krasnov benefits Russia.
Ukraine already offered to trade 8000 drone killers for US weapons. The US quickly turned them down. Many people will die because we elected this ahole.
