2025-11-22 | Silicon Wafers DAILY UPDATE 064 | Putin's ship has been taking on water for some time but has now hit an iceberg – it's called thirty-six dollars a barrel of Urals crude oil. Russia's flagship Urals crude has collapsed to its lowest price since early 2023 – just as U.S. sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil, the two giants of Putin's oil empire, are about to fully bite. India and China are backing away. Tankers full of Russian crude are circling with nowhere to go. And suddenly, “sanctions don't work” sounds a lot less clever on social media than it did six months ago. (United24 Media)Let's unpack how we got to $36 Urals, what it means for Russia's war machine, and why this looks less like a market blip and more like the first real oil-squeeze not only of the war, but of Putin's time in power. ----------SOURCES: United24 Media – “Russia's Urals Oil Crashes to 2.5-Year Low as Global Buyers Pull Back Ahead of US Sanctions” (Nov. 17, 2025)Kyiv Independent – “Russia's flagship oil price drops as buyers retreat ahead of US sanctions” (Nov. 17, 2025)The Moscow Times – “Russian Oil Revenues Slide to 2.5-Year Low as Sanctions Drive Asian Buyers Away” (Nov. 19, 2025)The Moscow Times – “What New U.S. Sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil Mean for Russia's Oil Trade” (Oct. 28, 2025)U.S. Department of the Treasury – “Treasury Sanctions Major Russian Oil Companies, Calls on Moscow to Immediately Agree to Ceasefire” (Press release, Oct. 22, 2025)Reuters – coverage on Chinese and Indian banks/refiners moving to comply with sanctions and on widening Urals discounts and stranded cargoes (Nov. 2025)AP / Associated Press – reports on U.S. sanctions on Russian oil and Lukoil's decision to sell international assets (Oct.–Nov. 2025)Economic Times / Business Standard – “US sanctions on Russian oil set to kick in with 48 million barrels of crude at sea” (Nov. 21, 2025)IntelliNews – “How oil price discounts became a barometer of the sanctions' effectiveness” (Nov. 2025)Chatham House – “Tightening the oil-price cap to increase the pressure on Russia” (Sept. 4, 2025)CEPA – “Europe Moves Toward Shadow Fleet Seizures” (Sept. 26, 2025)EU Commission – Press materials on the 18th and 19th sanctions packages targeting Russia's shadow fleet and LNG (July & Oct. 2025)----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

US President Donald Trump's sanctions on Russian oil giants Rosneft and Lukoil came into effect on November 21. The move prohibits the export of petroleum products from Russia and is intended to stop India from tapping into Russian oil. As India is the largest importer of Russian oil, how will the US sanctions impact the country?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Companiile rusești Lukoil și Rosneft ar trebui să își vândă activele pe care le au în diverse țări. Este condiția impusă la sfârșitul lunii octombrie a.c. de SUA, intenția sancțiunii fiind ca firmele din domeniul energetic, cele mai mari din Rusia, să nu mai poată finanța efortul de război. Timpul este scurt. Într-o săptămână ar trebui găsite soluțiile, dacă termenul sancțiunii nu va fi prelungit. Unii experți interpretează ofertele de vânzare ca niște chilipiruri, dar în cazul Lukoil, companie care este prezentă și în România și deci mai interesantă și pentru piața locală, situația este complicată. Cu această ocazie, putem vedea cât de extinsă este activitatea Lukoil în lume. Compania fondată în anul 1991, al doilea producător rusesc de petrol după Rosneft, este o companie integrată, care include întregul lanț de valoare, de la explorare și exploatare, până la rafinare și distribuție. În Africa, Lukoil este foarte prezentă în domeniul petrolului și gazelor naturale. În Camerun, compania rusească deține o treime dintr-un important perimetru de gaze din zona offshore. În Egipt, Lukoil operează două câmpuri de gaze. De asemenea, compania rusească are exploatații energetice în Nigeria și Ghana, iar din Congo obține gaz natural lichefiat. Se poate spune că Lukoil a fost bine primită în statele africane bogate în resurse energetice. De fapt, este o strategie a companiei rusești care după anul 2022 și-a extins operațiunile în Africa tocmai pentru a încerca să își diversifice zonele geografice în care este prezentă și sursele de obținere a veniturilor. Calculul a fost ca afacerile în scădere din Europa să fie compensate prin creșterea pe alte piețe. Retragerea Lukoil din Africa, dacă se va întâmpla, creează o oportunitate pentru companiile europene, în special de gaze naturale. Începând cu anul viitor, statelor europene li se interzice să încheie noi contracte de aprovizionare cu gaze din Rusia, iar contractele de lungă durată se mai pot derula până la 1 ianuarie 2028. Pentru europeni, retragerea Lukoil din Africa are o miză dublă: pe de o parte, se poate asigura o zonă de asigurare alternativă, importantă în contextul în care Uniunea Europeană vrea să reducă la minimum aprovizionarea cu materii prime energetice din Rusia. Pe de altă parte, companiile europene vor avea oportunitatea să achiziționeze participații la proiectele energetice din Africa și să exploateze unele resurse alături de parteneri locali. Că firmele europene vor folosi sau nu această șansă rămâne de văzut. Deocamdată, de activele deținute de Lukoil în Africa sunt interesați mulți investitori. Să ajungem în România. Lukoil are o rafinărie cu o cotă de piață de 20%, un număr de 320 de benzinării, care dețin o cotă de piață de 10% și o participație de 87% din perimetrul offshore Trident, restul aparținând Romgaz. Într-o analiză publicată în revista NewMoney, avocata Oana Ijdelea, specializată în domeniul energetic, arată că Lukoil România este doar o verigă într-un lanț complex, cu structuri de proprietate încrucișate, vehiculate prin firme din Elveția, Cipru și Olanda. Concluzia: este greu de spus ce ar cumpăra un eventual investitor, cu atât mai mult statul român existând riscul ca operațiunile comerciale să continue nestingherite, dar sub altă formă. Fără îndoială, miza cea mai mare a activelor Lukoil în România este participația la perimetrul Trident, un zăcământ estimat la 30 miliarde de metri cubi de gaze. Marea întrebare este la ce preț s-ar putea răscumpăra investiția de până acum a Lukoil știind că plata efectuată de Romgaz către Exxon a stârnit multe controverse. Statul român ar putea să se implice în cazul Lukoil printr-o preluare a companiei, fie prin administrare temporară, fie printr-o „naționalizare tehnică”, după cum explică Oana Ijdelea. În concluzie, sunt multe variante de luat în calcul și multe neclarități.

Ukrainas nya ambassadör i Sverige, Svitlana Zalisjtjuk, om JAS Gripen, vad som kan sätta press på Putin, och Ukrainas framtid. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Den 22 oktober besökte Ukrainas president Volodymyr Zelenskyj Sverige, och undertecknade en avsiktsförklaring mellan Sverige och Ukraina om att Ukraina på sikt ska få köpa stridsflygplanet JAS Gripen. Ambassadör Svitlana Zalisjtjuk menar att affären skulle vara en investering i europeisk säkerhet, inte enbart ukrainsk, med tanke på exempelvis ryska sabotage i EU-området.”Gripenavtalet handlar det om hur vi ska skapa en luftsköld, inte bara för Ukraina, utan också för EU, och för Sverige. Det handlar om att stärka vår förmåga så att vi kan skydda vårt luftrum, vilket också innebär att ni kan skydda ert”, säger Svitlana Zalisjtjuk, som tillträdde som Ukrainas ambassadör i Sverige i september.När och hur JAS Gripen eventuellt skulle kunna börja levereras till Ukraina är oklart i nuläget, och enligt ambassadören diskuteras när en första leverans kan äga rum.Enligt Ulf Kristersson skulle det första JAS-planet kunna levereras tidigast om tre år, är det tillräckligt snabbt för Ukraina?”Vi skulle vilja att det sker tidigare, och vi förhandlar om att andra JAS-plan skulle kunna levereras snabbare”, säger Svitlana Zalisjtjuk.Även hur ett eventuellt köp av JAS-plan ska finansieras är oklart. Svitlana Zalisjtjuk vill att det ska finansieras genom lån med säkerhet i ryska frysta tillgångar i EU.Vi har hört rapporter om att Saab, som tillverkar JAS Gripen, planerar att bygga en fabrik i Ukraina där delar av JAS Gripen skulle kunna monteras. ”Jag kan bara säga att det har diskuterats av min president, er statsminister och Saabs vd”...”Men det är för tidigt att offentliggöra något av innehållet i dessa förhandlingar”, säger Svitlana Zalisjtjuk.Det är många detaljer som är oklara. Är du säker på att Ukraina faktiskt kommer att få JAS-stridsflygplanen? ”Jag är säker. På samma sätt som jag är säker på många andra saker som inte kunde hända men som ändå har hänt”, säger Svitlana Zalisjtjuk.Situationen i UkrainaNyligen har Ryssland intensifierat attackerna från luften och siktar in sig på att skada Ukrainas infrastruktur och energisystem. Svitlana Zalisjtjuk anser att Ryssland har lagt om sin strategi för att de inte når framgångar vid fronten.”De är maktlösa på frontlinjen, och därför bombar de våra städer för att skrämma civila. De har faktiskt”...”ökat sina attacker mot den civila infrastrukturen för att beröva människor dessa nödvändiga tjänster.” säger hon.”Vi arbetar just nu tillsammans med internationella partners för att få den utrustning vi behöver för att ta oss igenom vintern”, fortsätter Svitlana Zalisjtjuk. För att försvara sig i nuläget behöver Ukraina först och främst luftvärnssystem, enligt Svitlana Zalisjtjuk. Men även gas, sedan ryska attacker förstört delar av den ukrainska gasproduktionen, och reservdieselgeneratorer.”Vi behöver dieselgeneratorer för att driva skolor, förskolor och så vidare. Och vi ber människor, de som kan, att hjälpa oss med detta”, säger Svitlana Zalisjtjuk.USA:s och EU:s stödAmbassadör Svitlana Zalisjtjuk säger att USA:s stöd förblir avgörande för Ukraina, och hon medger att samarbetet inte varit helt enkelt.Skulle du säga att USA är en pålitlig allierad? ”Jag tycker att det går i rätt riktning”...”Kommunikationen mellan min president och president Trump har blivit mycket bättre” säger hon.De nyligen utfärdade amerikanska sanktionerna mot de ryska oljebolagen Rosneft och Lukoil anser Svitlana Zalisjtjuk är det bästa Donald Trump gjort. Enligt henne kommer sanktionerna kosta Ryssland fem miljarder dollar per månad.De pågående förhandlingarna inom EU om att använda de frysta ryska tillgångarna för att säkra Ukrainas finansieringsbehov sätter ytterligare press på Putin, anser Svitlana Zalisjtjuk.”Jag tror att Putin försöker matta ut Ukraina finansiellt. Om ryska frysta tillgångar – och kanske borde jag säga när ryska frysta tillgångar – kommer till Ukraina, får Putin ett tydligt budskap att Ukraina är finansierat för de tre kommande åren, att väst stöder dess kamp, och att Putin därför inte kommer att få det han vill”, säger hon.Ukrainas framtidPresident Zelenskyjs femåriga mandatperiod löpte ut 2024, men i enlighet med Ukrainas konstitution hålls inga val i krigstider. Svitlana Zalisjtjuk menar att det också skulle vara omöjligt rent praktiskt att hålla val under krig.”För att kunna hålla rättvisa val måste man dra tillbaka trupper, och ge även armén rätt att delta. Och se till att väljarna har säkerhet när de röstar. Tyvärr har vi inte den lyxen just nu”, säger hon.Behöver president Zelenskyj på något sätt förnya sin legitimitet som Ukrainas politiska ledare? ”Jag tycker att vi måste följa mitt lands konstitution, och vår lag säger mycket tydligt att val inte kan genomföras under krig. Eftersom kriget pågår kan landet inte säkerställa rättvisa och rättfärdiga val”, säger Svitlana Zalisjtjuk. Hur Ryssland och Ukrainas relation kommer se ut när kriget är över har Svitlana Zalisjtjuk svårt att föreställa sig.”Det kommer att ta hundra år innan vi kan titta åt det hållet med någon annan känsla än hat”, säger honInnan Ryssland blir en demokrati ser inte Svitlana Zalisjtjuk hur relationen mellan Ryssland och Ukraina skulle kunna förändras.Hur förbereder sig Ukraina för en möjlig tid när Vladimir Putin inte längre är vid makten i Ryssland? ”Efter Vladimir Putin kommer det en ny Vladimir Putin. Det är åtminstone så jag ser den samhälleliga utvecklingen i Ryssland. Jag är inte säker på att Ryssland kommer att bli demokratiskt inom överskådlig framtid”, säger Svitlana Zalisjtjuk.

AI as a Lifeline for US Energy and Russian Economic Collapse Guest: Michael Bernstein Michael Bernstein describes how artificial intelligence, which is highly electricity intensive, is providing a "lifeline" to US shale energy, especially natural gas production in Texas, by creating substantial new demand for power infrastructure. This new supply is also fundamentally transforming the European energy landscape, where Russian dominance has been eliminated. Simultaneously, sanctions are forcing major Russian companies like Rosneft and Lukoil into "fire sales" of assets outside Russia at steep discounts.
¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2025! La Casa Blanca quiere poner punto y final cuanto antes a la guerra de Ucrania, pero se trata de una empresa difícil ya que el Kremlin prioriza sus objetivos territoriales sobre cualquier acuerdo de paz. Para forzar a Putin, el Gobierno estadounidense acaba de imponer las primeras sanciones del segundo mandato de Trump. Van dirigidas contra Rosneft y Lukoil, las mayores petroleras rusas, y sus filiales, golpeando de este modo la principal fuente de ingresos del Gobierno ruso, que no es otra que las exportaciones de hidrocarburos. El secretario del Tesoro, Scott Bessent, justificó las medidas en la intransigencia rusa y exigió un alto el fuego inmediato. Trump se mostró optimista, convencido de que esto bastará para llevar a los rusos a la mesa de negociación. Después de nueve meses evitando presionar a Putin, esta decisión supone un notable cambio en el modo de abordar la cuestión ucraniana. Rusia cuadra su presupuesto con petróleo y gas; sancionar a su sector energético es un arma poderosa para obligarles a dialogar. Las sanciones entran en vigor dentro de un mes, pero ya se siente su impacto. China y la India, los dos principales compradores de crudo ruso, han reducido sus importaciones mientras sus refinerías recalibran futuras adquisiciones para evitar riesgos innecesarios. Si sumamos a eso la última ronda de sanciones europea, el sector energético ruso podría verse muy afectado. El mercado reaccionó rápido: el barril subió un 5% la semana pasada, regresó a los 60 dólares ante la expectativa de escasez. A diferencia de medidas previas EEUU ataca con sanciones a la fuente, es decir, a los productores. Cualquier entidad (banco, puerto, empresa) que negocie con Rosneft o Lukoil se expone al aislamiento financiero. Esto afecta a todo el petróleo de origen ruso que entre por vía marítima o por oleoducto. Hasta la fecha Rusia ha evadido las sanciones con una flota en la sombra de petroleros, una idea copiada de Irán, pero que mueve volúmenes mucho mayores. A cambio tiene que vender a descuento y ponerse en manos de intermediarios de dudosa reputación. Entretanto, el ejército ucraniano ha recrudecido sus ataques con drones contra refinerías y depósitos de combustible en el interior de Rusia. Como consecuencia, en septiembre los ingresos del Kremlin en concepto de hidrocarburos eran ya la mitad que hace tres años. Los temores de que el precio del barril se dispare están ahí, pero el mercado mundial se encuentra sobreabastecido porque se extrae más petróleo que nunca. Los inventarios, de hecho, están en máximos. ¿Bastará eso para obligar a Putin a negociar un alto el fuego? Lo desconocemos, pero su ejército no consigue realizar avances y el frente económico se le está complicando. A pesar de ello no parece tener intención de ceder. Para llegar a un armisticio ha exigido unas condiciones inaceptables tanto para los ucranianos como para los mediadores. Esto de Ucrania es para él una cuestión existencial y sólo entiende el lenguaje de la fuerza. Las sanciones por si solas no reblandecerán al Kremlin; la presión económica y en el campo de batalla podría hacerlo, pero no hay una solución rápida. Esta guerra es algo muy personal para Putin. En ella se juega su prestigio, su legado y su lugar en la historia de Rusia.

After recent failures to bring the Kremlin to the negotiating table to end the war in Ukraine, Trump has adopted a new approach to Putin, taking the significant step of sanctioning Russia's two biggest oil producers, Rosneft and Lukoil, while also demanding that China and India stop buying Russian oil. Will this step finally persuade Putin to negotiate an end to his war? Why has it taken the United States so long to go after the two biggest cash cows in Putin's war chest? Will these sanctions have any side effects for global markets?
William Law's guest this week is Alastair Newton. In a wide ranging conversation Arab Digest's energy analyst reflects on the likelihood of a huge glut of oil on the world market, how Gulf energy producers will play their hand in the coming months, Chinese dominance in critical minerals and how that will impact on oil, the Trump factor as he announces sanctions on Russia's Rosneft and Lukoil and Alastair's call on the price of oil at the end of 2025.

Ein Vogel, der Angst und Schrecken verbreiten soll: Mit dem neuen, nuklearbetriebenen Marschflugkörper "Burevestnik" - zu Deutsch: "Sturmvogel" - will Russlands Machthaber militärische Stärke demonstrieren. An Tag 1343 des russischen Angriffskrieges gegen die Ukraine beleuchten Kai Küstner und Stefan Niemann, was hinter dem martialischen Auftreten Putins in Tarnuniform und der stolz im Staatsfernsehen präsentierten Wunderwaffe steckt. Ist die Atommacht Russland wirtschaftlich verwundbar und somit ein Scheinriese? Während der Kreml mit dem neuen Marschflugkörper bedrohlich die Muskeln spielen lässt, wächst zugleich der Druck von außen: US-Präsident Trump hat erstmals direkte Sanktionen gegen russische Energiekonzerne verhängt - und spricht von einem "tremendous impact". Gleichzeitig verschärft Russland seine Angriffe auf ukrainische Städte und Dörfer. UN-Ermittler sprechen inzwischen von einer regelrechten Drohnenjagd auf Zivilisten. Viele Menschen hätten deshalb Frontgebiete verlassen. Außerdem spricht Kai Küstner mit dem Wirtschaftswissenschaftler der Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP), Janis Kluge, über die US-Sanktionen. Russland-Kenner Kluge erklärt, warum er die Maßnahmen gegen Rosneft und Lukoil für richtig hält, diese aber Russlands Wirtschaft "wohl nicht in ihren Grundfesten erschüttern". Wie widerstandsfähig ist Putins Kriegswirtschaft, wie lange kann Russland sich den Krieg leisten - und warum bleibt ein baldiges Kriegsende trotzdem unrealistisch?

Last week President Trump hit Russia's biggest oil producers - Rosneft and Lukoil - with sanctions, a move many see as a major shift from the Trump administration that puts it on the same page as Europe when it comes to pressuring Moscow. Laurence Norman, the European reporter for The Wall Street Journal, joins Thanos Davelis as we look at this shift from President Trump and break down what it means for Europe and the war in Ukraine.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:U.S. Oil Sanctions Strike at Russia's Economic LifelineThree Years of War in Ukraine: Are Sanctions Against Russia Making a Difference?Burgum highlights Greece's role in reducing Europe's dependence on Russian gasPowering U.S. Energy Dominance with Secretary of the Interior Doug BurgumTurkey court orders arrest of Istanbul's jailed mayor for 'political espionage'
Send us a textA mayoral debate that felt like a prize fight. A White House wing torn down for a 9,000-square-foot ballroom. Sanctions that squeeze Russia's oil lifeline while summits dissolve overnight. And a healthcare shock that sends families scrambling to schedule surgery before premiums explode. We pull these threads together to show how spectacle keeps crowding out strategy—and how that choice lands on everyday people.First, we take you ringside at New York City's final debate: Cuomo swinging for the knockout, Mamdani refusing to fold, and Curtis Sliwa playing the comic heel with punchlines that stick. The crowd roars, the polls barely move, and a bigger story emerges about outsiders consolidating power in America's cultural capital. Trump's name hovers over the stage—weaponized by rivals, leveraged by critics—because branding beats policy when the lights burn this bright.Then we zoom out. Sanctions hit Rosneft and Lukoil, but the messaging leaves room for quick reversal. Tomahawk missiles are denied to Ukraine under the banner of training timelines, a fig leaf for escalation fears. The war-on-drugs pivots to the Caribbean with boat strikes and covert authorities targeting Venezuela, while allies and critics wonder whether there's any doctrine beyond momentum and mood. Meanwhile, China policy swings a heavy tariff hammer at a tech-driven contest that can't be bludgeoned into submission. It's improvisation at scale—sometimes effective, often disorienting.Back home, the bulldozers arrive at the East Wing. The argument isn't about taste; it's about the meaning of the people's house. Past presidents expanded for function and safety; this remake prioritizes spectacle, privately funded and publicly symbolic. At the same time, a surprising student debt relief deal offers real wins for long-suffering borrowers—PSLF buybacks, long-overdue discharges—yet the horizon darkens as 2028 threatens core income-driven plans. And then there's the gut punch: marketplace premiums jumping an average of 18 percent as enhanced subsidies lapse, with Georgia as a hard-hit case study. Families face impossible choices, insurers warn of a spiral, and leaders rehearse the same talking points while costs outpace paychecks.If you want a clear map through the noise—how local theater reflects national power, how foreign policy whiplash hits your wallet, how symbols rewrite norms and subsidies prop up shaky systems—this is your guide. Listen, share with a friend who's doomscrolling, and leave a review to tell us where you're feeling the squeeze most. Your stories shape what we unpack next. Support the show
Like Putin, Donald Trump is determined to hide from the people. He's promising that a taxpayer-funded FBI–run by MAGA troll Kash Patel–will “secure” the next election. The MAGA cult plans to steal it, again. And with Republican gerrymandering, bot farms from Russia to China, and Elon Musk's Twitter turned into a disinformation landfill, he just might pull it off. Again. Causing one of the longest government shutdowns in American history – again – Trump gives Argentina a $40 billion bailout. Why Argentina? It's where a lot of Nazis fled after World War II, and maybe where the Trumps plan to flee after Americans end their crime spree. It's a bold strategy: betray your own farmers to curry favor with your future Nazi refuge. Meanwhile, the convicted felon-in-chief is busy literally demolishing the White House. The East Wing is being gutted to make space for what amounts to a kleptocratic ballroom: a pay-to-play shrine for oligarchs and hangers-on. Melania already desecrated Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden, turning it into a cement Panera Bread patio. It's as if the Trumps are trying to erase everything beautiful about American democracy and replace it with a bedazzled monument to authoritarianism, to repay their Russian backers driven to win a Cold War rematch.

Trump Administration Sanctions Hit Russia's Oil Lifeline. Michael Bernstam discussed the Trump administration's politically significant sanctions targeting Russia's two largest oil producers, Rosneft and Lukoil, affecting 56% of Russian output. The sanctions caused world oil prices to jump temporarily and elicited an immediate angry response from Putin, who called it an "unfriendly act." The primary financial impact on Russia will be much deeper discounts demanded by buyers, significantly hurting the Russian budget. Europe is meanwhile nearing liberation from Russian energy dependence due to abundant US liquefied natural gas (LNG).
SHOW 10-23-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1882 BLACK SEA RUSSIAN FLEET THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT A UKRAINE RESOLUTION... FIRST HOUR 9-915 Delayed Budapest Summit and Ukraine Negotiation Sticking Points. Anatol Lieven discusses how negotiations between the US and Russia, including a planned Budapest meeting, are delayed despite some progress on security issues like Trump's position on Ukraine joining NATO. The major sticking point remains Russia's demand that Ukraine withdraw from the rest of the Donbas, which Ukrainian leaders deem politically impossible. While Russia has scaled back some territorial claims, a viable peace settlement likely necessitates a ceasefire along existing lines, coupled with lifting sanctions. Escalation risks remain high due to potential accidental military clashes. 915-930 Delayed Budapest Summit and Ukraine Negotiation Sticking Points.

Ivana Stradner discussed the controversial UN Cyber Crime Treaty, which she argues is an assault on international rule of law spearheaded by Russia and China. The treaty is feared because it enables digital authoritarianism, censorship, and surveillance by potentially forcing companies to grant government access to private data and share user information globally. The US should reject ratification and defer to the Budapest Convention, relying instead on powerful offensive and defensive cyber capabilities for deterrence.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 The AI Infrastructure Gold Rush and Europe's Absence. Chris Riegel discusses how the AI revolution is driving a feverish rush to build large data centers (one gigawatt or better), though energy access is a critical choke point that may cause conflict between commercial demand and normal consumers by summer 2026. This intense global competition, likened to a gold rush, is primarily a two-horse race between the US and China. Europe is largely sitting out the advanced AI development wave, which is considered a tactical mistake that may leave them reliant on American or Chinese technology. 1215-1230 CBP Admits Fake Record Used to Jail Bolsonaro Advisor in Brazil. Mary Anastasia O'Grady discusses how US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) admitted an erroneous entry record was created and used by Brazilian Justice Alexandre de Moraes to jail Felipe Martins, an advisor to former President Bolsonaro. De Moraes used the apparently fake I-94 document, which contained a misspelling and a canceled passport number, to hold Martins for 183 days to extract information about an alleged coup plot. The unprecedented CBP admission confirms a file violation and suggests ongoing malfeasance. 1230-1245 US Accelerates Moon Race Against China. Rick Fisher and David Livingston discuss how the US moon race is accelerating, driven by President Trump's demand to land on the moon by 2028 and concerns that China, using the Long March 10 booster, might get there by 2029. Interim NASA Director Sean Duffy reopened the lunar lander contract, previously held by SpaceX's Starship, to Blue Origin and potentially Lockheed Martin, seeking multiple pathways. The Chinese space program is viewed as a strategic maneuver aimed at distracting the US from other global conflicts. 1245-100 AM US Accelerates Moon Race Against China.

2025-10-24 | Silicon Wafers 040 | DAILY UPDATES | Is the Kremlin finally feeling real bite from Sanctions? Are oil sanctions by US and UK, and pressure on the shadow tankers, helping the first cracks emerge in Putin's war economy?Washington, London and Brussels just fired a coordinated broadside at the Kremlin's cash machine. Russia calls it “unfriendly.” China bristles. India flinches. Europe quietly tightens the noose on the shadow fleet. Meanwhile, small but telling acts of dissent flicker in St. Petersburg, and fresh reporting shows how the Russian “elite” keep looting their own house even as it burns. At last measures are being taken which may hasten Putin's demise. The sanctions blitz finally hits the bullseyeThe big move: the United States sanctioned Rosneft and Lukoil, Russia's two largest oil companies—the beating heart of Putin's war budget and war machine financing. This is the first Ukraine-related Russia sanctions package of Trump's second term—and according to some commentators, it's a sledgehammer. As Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent put it: “Given President Putin's refusal to end this senseless war, Treasury is sanctioning Russia's two largest oil companies that fund the Kremlin's war machine.” (Reuters, Oct 22, 2025)----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv.

C dans l'air l'invitée du 23 octobre 2025 avec Marie Jégo, journaliste au quotidien Le Monde, ancienne correspondante à Moscou.Hier, les Etats-Unis ont décidé de sanctionner deux compagnies pétrolières russes, le groupe d'Etat Rosneft et la compagnie privée Lukoil, qui représentent près de la moitié des exportations de pétrole russe. " A chaque fois que je parle à Vladimir, nous avons de bonnes conversations, a souligné Donald Trump mercredi, et puis elles ne débouchent sur rien." De quoi pousser l'administration américaine à prendre "des sanctions énormes" comme les qualifie le président américain. C'est d'ailleurs une première depuis son arrivée au pouvoir. "J'ai juste senti qu'il était temps" a-t-il précisé, espérant que cela affectera suffisamment l'économie russe pour forcer Vladimir Poutine à "devenir raisonnable". Les sanctions américaines impliquent un gel de tous les actifs de Rosneft et Lukoil aux États-Unis, ainsi qu'une interdiction à toutes les entreprises américaines de faire des affaires avec les deux compagnies pétrolières russes. Volodymyr Zelenzky a salué le "message fort" envoyé par Washington. Il peut également se réjouir du vote par l'Union européenne d'un 19e train de sanctions visant à interdire les importations de gaz naturel liquéfié russe à partir de 2027 et de nouveaux navires de sa flotte fantôme.L'impact sur les cours du pétrole ne s'est pas fait attendre : ils ont bondi de 5% ce matin. Côté Moscou, Dimitri Medvedev, ancien président russe, vice-président du Conseil de Sécurité, est allé jusqu'à dire sur Telegram que "les décisions prises constituent un acte de guerre contre la Russie", ajoutant que "Trump s'est complètement aligné sur l'Europe folle". Quant à Vladimir Poutine il a supervisé hier un exercice des forces nucléaires stratégiques, impliquant des tirs de missiles balistiques et de croisière. Une posture de chef de guerre qui n'augure pas d'un futur accord de paix. Marie Jégo reviendra sur la décision américaine de sanctionner deux compagnies pétrolières russes, et ses conséquences. Son dernier article « Privé de sommet avec Donald Trump à Budapest, Vladimir Poutine a repris sa posture de chef de guerre » est disponible sur le site internet du Monde.
On this week's Defense & Aerospace Report Washington Roundtable, Dr. Patrick Cronin of the Hudson Institute think tank, Michael Herson of American Defense International, former Pentagon Europe chief Jim Townsend of the Center for a New American Security, and Pentagon comptroller Dr. Dov Zakheim of the Center for Strategic and International Studies join Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss what's next for what already is the second longest shutdown in US history; the Trump administration's decision to withdraw the nomination of former GE Vice Chariman Jeff Bornstein as Pentagon comptroller; President Trump's decision to sanction Lukoil and Rosneft a days after his planned meeting with Vladimir Putin to end the Ukraine war fizzled; the failed EU effort to shift Moscow's frozen assets to Ukraine, but successful new sanctions on Russia's shadow fleet; Kyiv's decision to buy 150 Gripen fighter aircraft from Sweden's Saab; the ongoing trade war between Washington and Beijing as Chinese officials implement the kind of global standards normally imposed by the United States as Trump and Xi Jinping prepare to meet in Korea; the president's rare earths agreement with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese; the warning by Singapore's prime minister that the transition to a post-American world will be messy as Trump ends trade talks with Canada and moves closer to war with Venezuela; Sanae Takaichi becomes Japan's first female prime minister; and Vice President Vance visits Israel to support a shaky Gaza ceasefire as Israeli lawmakers voted to annex the West Bank, a move that Trump said would never happen.
Nearly 70% of Russian crude production and exports are now under sanctions, raising costs and slowing settlements even though only 5% of exports use US dollars. Russia has relied on offshore traders and new entities to maintain flows, but this is more challenging for major producers like Rosneft and Lukoil. Indian imports may fall by 400 kbd, while Chinese flows should remain steady. Over time, Russia can redirect up to 0.8 mbd to other markets and China could absorb an additional 1 mbd, but profit margins will narrow due to higher costs and deeper discounts. Export volumes are expected to stabilize within a quarter after an initial pause. Speaker: Natasha Kaneva, Head of Global Commodities Research This podcast was recorded on October 24, 2025.

The United States has unveiled its most forceful move yet to pressure Russia into ending the war in Ukraine. President Donald Trump has announced broad sanctions on Russia's two biggest oil giants, Rosneft and Lukoil. The measures mark a decisive shift in tone from the US, targeting the lifeblood of Russia's economy in a bid to choke off Russia's Ukraine war funding

So plötzlich, wie ein Treffen zwischen US-Präsident Trump und Russlands Präsident Putin in Budapest vergangene Woche noch angekündigt wurde, so schnell ist es schon wieder vom Tisch. An Tag 1339 des russischen Angriffskrieges gegen die Ukraine sprechen die Hosts Kai Küstner und Stefan Niemann darüber in diesem Podcast: Trump wolle kein "vergeudetes Treffen", wenn Russland nicht bereit sei, von seinen Maximalforderungen abzuweichen: Keine NATO-Präsenz in der Ukraine und somit keine Sicherheitsgarantien für das Land, kein Einfrieren der Frontlinien - auch nichteroberte Gebiete sollen russisch werden. Stattdessen hat Trump Sanktionen gegen die zwei größten russischen Ölkonzerne Rosneft und Lukoil verhängt. Es sind die ersten direkten Strafmaßnahmen seit seinem Amtsantritt. Welche Folgen das nicht nur für US-Firmen, sondern auch für Werften und Banken in Drittländern hat, analysieren wir in dieser Ausgabe. Und NDR Kollege Benedikt Strunz berichtet von der Arbeit des Recherche-Verbunds aus NDR/WDR/SZ zu "Russian Secrets": Jahrelang unbemerkt hat Russland ein System namens "Harmonie" in der Arktis aufgebaut, eine Art Alarmanlage, mit dem es seine Atom-U-Boote schützt. "Am Grund der Barentssee sind hunderte Kilometer von Kabelnetzen, die mit ganz sensibler Sensorik verbaut sind und diese Sensorik sorgt dafür, dass sie auf sehr weite Strecken kleinste akustische Signale empfangen kann", erklärt der Investigativ-Reporter. Geräusche ausländischer U-Boot-Antriebswellen können so erkannt und geortet werden. Besonders pikant: Die dafür benötigte Technik wie Unterwasser-Sonare, Antennen und Glasfaserkabel wurden von Firmen in der EU, den USA, Japan und Kanada geliefert, so Benedikt: "Den Russen war es möglich, wirklich über Jahre unerkannt im Westen einzukaufen". Wie es dazu kommen konnte, wie das in Zukunft vermieden werden soll und inwiefern die militärstrategische Zukunft in der Tiefsee liegt - auch darum geht es in dieser Folge.

Craig Collins remains in for Greg Corombos, and he notices a big mafia story arrives, just in time to honor his Italian heritage. Craig and Jim applaud some new Trump administration decisions on Ukraine, lament the fact that Zohran Mamdani looks like a shoo in to be the next mayor of New York City, and marvel at a big sports gambling scandal that led to the arrest of an NBA player and coach. First, Craig and Jim note that while it's been a long time coming, the Trump administration is hitting Russian oil giants Rosneft and Lukoil with new sanctions, cutting off the Russian firms from American banking systems and financial institutions, essentially barring them from operating in U.S. dollars. Trump is finally getting wise to the fact that all of his seemingly good conversations with Vladimir Putin never seem to results in Putin's policies. Next, President Trump doesn't see any way that anyone can beat Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayor's race, and there's not a lot of evidence to counter the president's conclusion. In a year where a lot has gone right for the GOP, a major frustration is that no argument about Mamdani's extremism on everything from economics to policing to geopolitics has seemed to get traction. Finally, the Portland Trail Blazers face a tough lineup of opponents this year – the Warriors, the Lakers, and the FBI. The Bureau announced that it had arrested Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier as part of a pair of wide-ranging investigations related to illegal sports betting and rigged poker games backed by the Mafia. Jim and Craig acknowledge that while sports gambling is wildly popular, particularly among young men, the temptations and dangers of widespread legal sports gambling were predictable.Get 20% off your first purchase of classic menswear.

US equity futures are firmer after Wednesday's losses. Asian markets ended mixed, and European equities opened also mixed. Market sentiment remained focus on geopolitics. The White House is reportedly preparing to curb exports of software-related products to China, including laptops and aviation components, raising concern over a potential escalation in trade tensions.

U.S. forces have carried out another lethal strike against a boat carrying alleged drug traffickers and their cargo—this time in the eastern Pacific Ocean. President Donald Trump said his administration may eventually go to Congress for authorization. Some lawmakers from both parties have expressed concern about the strikes. War Secretary Pete Hegseth said the vessel was known by U.S. intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling.The government shutdown is at day 23 with no end in sight. After a 12th failed vote on reopening, Senate Republicans are planning to hold a vote on Thursday to pay federal workers still on the job. The ballot is scheduled for noon, and some Democrats are already lining up to oppose it. Democrats will offer a counterproposal to pay all federal workers instead. The new approach is likely to yield yet another stand-off without an obvious solution.Trump announced new sanctions on Russia on Wednesday targeting the country's two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, after he put the summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin on hold. Trump is also calling on U.S. allies for help in enforcing the sanctions against Russia, and said that he hopes the measures will encourage Putin to “become more reasonable.” The European Union has also officially adopted its 19th sanctions package against Russia, which includes a ban on imports of Russian liquefied natural gas.

The Trump administration announced on Wednesday that it was placing Russia's two largest oil producers — Lukoil and Rosneft — on the U.S. Treasury Department's sanctions list. The move is aimed at targeting Russia's war finances, as the two companies account for nearly half of the country's crude exports.

Donald Trump a décidé d'imposer des sanctions sur deux grosses compagnies pétrolières russes, Loukoil et Rosneft, une première depuis son arrivée à la Maison Blanche en janvier. Ces sanctions envoient un "message fort" à la Russie pour qu'elle mette fin à la guerre, a affirmé Volodymyr Zelensky. Pourquoi Donald Trump a-t-il une nouvelle fois changé d'avis ? Quel impact sur l'économie russe ?
De fanboys van Tesla staan raar te kijken. De winst van Tesla is in het derde kwartaal gekelderd en de kosten zijn enorm opgelopen.

Amerika het sanksies ingestel teen Rosneft en Lukoil, twee van Rusland se grootste oliemaatskappye, omdat Moskou nie ernstig oor vrede met Oekraïne is nie. Volgens die Departement van Finansies sal die sanksies druk op Rusland se energiesektor plaas, verhoed dat die Kremlin geld vind vir sy oorlogsmasjien en om die verswakte ekonomie te ondersteun. Die Britse regering het ook verlede week sanksies teen die oliemaatskappye ingestel. President Donald Trump van Amerika sê die stappe sal beslis 'n uitwerking op Moskou hê:

European and US stocks moved lower in yesterday's trading sessions, with earnings releases and new mooted curbs on US software exports to China doing nothing to boost the trading mood. Asia's equity markets also reacted negatively to the escalation in trade tensions. Oil prices jumped about 3% last night after the US administration imposed further sanctions on Russia's two largest crude companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, aiming to harm the Kremlin's ability to raise revenue to fund its war against Ukraine. Our Head of Equity Strategy Research, Mathieu Racheter, joins the podcast to provide an update on a – so far – strong US earnings season.

We cover Ukraine, Russia, China and the global struggle against autocracy. Tonight's rundown of the authoritarian front: Russia pounds Ukraine's grid again; Kyiv's drones torch refineries and substations deep inside Russia; London hammers the “shadow fleet” with a new, harsh packet of sanctions; Washington and Brussels tighten the screws; India and Japan feel U.S. pressure on Russian energy; and inside Russia, repression expands while Moscow hunts more foreign manpower for the trenches. London takes a hard swing at Russia: sanctions on Rosneft, Lukoil, and the “shadow fleet”.The UK just unveiled one of its most sweeping packages yet: new sanctions listings hitting Rosneft, Lukoil, cornerstones of Russia's war revenues, and dozens of tankers used to skirt the price cap.

Voices from analysts, critics, and regime watchers on what this crash signals4. Regime risk, war funding, elite recalibration — what's at stake internally5.
