Consequences on Russia
Previously, Russia was among the top three oil exporters, but its position has declined as a result of the conflict. Due to the ongoing conflict, Russia is going through many sanctions. Russian President Vladimir Putin seeks new markets to offset the impact of sanctions imposed by the West and others. Earlier Russia was in the top 3 exporters of Oil and now its ranking has fallen amid this war.
President Putin’s plan to control a 20% share of the worldwide LNG market by 2035 appears to be even more difficult to achieve now that the United Kingdom and the European Union have put new sanctions on Russia.
Even though countries rely substantially on Russian oil, other EU members, such as Hungary, may be hit harder. People’s everyday spending will increase by three times if they turn down Russian crude oil imports. Due to this reason, the Nord Stream pipeline connecting to Germany is being upheld. https://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/browser/index.php?tbl=T01.06#/?f=M
