Russian oil revenue is collapsing under economic and drone sanctions.
Last month set a new record low for oil revenues since the full-scale war began. And with strikes on shadow fleet tankers, this number will keep dropping in December and in 2026.

I have to admit that I did not believe this would happen.
Regardless of what happens to the reparations loan, which is still under intense negotiations, the Russian assets will be protected from undue interference.
It's a bold decision and an act of defiance. The Europeans are finally playing their cards.

EU agrees to indefinitely immobilise €210 billion of Russian assets
The EU has decided to keep the assets of the Russian Central Bank immobilised for the foreseeable future. The ban, which is based on a provision for economic emergencies, pushes back against external attempts to release the €210 billion in assets before Ukraine is compensated.
