Al-Marsad newspaper: Russian President Vladimir Putin’s urgent goal is to prevent an oil embargo, which is due to start in December, and will lose him 50% of his oil profits.
A Yahoo News report says that the expected restrictions will prevent Putin from redirecting this oil to anywhere else, even to Asia, to which he intends to send oil.
According to the report, Putin will not be able to do this, because monitoring mechanisms will be implemented, both in the United States and in Europe. The oil resale process is also being tracked.
This is a huge market that will be closed to Russia. The Russians understand this well, so they are making efforts to prevent it from happening and promoting that the sanctions hit European societies more than Russia, according to the report, and the goal is to push European societies to protest once morest the sanctions imposed on Russia.
And the Europeans began to move away from Russia, as Germany will open its first LNG terminal by the end of this year, and at the beginning of next year it will open a second terminal. It plans to install six LNG terminals within the next year.
Germany is already so accustomed to the fact that it will never be able to return to the relations it had with the Russians before February 24 this year that it does not even expect Nord Stream 2 to work at all, according to the report.
