Podcasts about Rosneft

¡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.

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'

V številnih nemških mestih so že drugi konec tedna zapored potekali protesti proti izjavi kanclerja Friedricha Merza, da ima država težavo z izgledom njenih mest. Kancler je govoril o odpravljanju prejšnjih neuspehov na področju migracij in se zavzel za pospešitev izgona neželenih prišlekov. Kako mu je uspelo razburiti javnost? Ali lahko odločitve ameriškega predsednika zamajejo energetsko oskrbo v Berlinu. Potem ko so ZDA uvedle sankcije proti ruskima naftnima družbama Rosneft in Lukoil, sekundarne sankcije pa grozijo tudi vsem, ki poslujejo z njima, je pod vprašajem delovanje rafinerije v bližini Berlina, ki je v ruski lasti. Ali lahko v prestolnici ostanejo brez ogrevanja?

Welcome to episode 196 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast, I'm Chris Kirkbride. This episode highlights major sanctions, including US actions against Rosneft and Lukoil for war financing, and new UK sanctions on Balkan crime networks involved in people smuggling. We discuss regulatory changes in the form of the UK's Interim Necessities General Licence for listed Iranian entities, significant enforcement actions with FINTRAC's record fine on Cryptomus, and the UK Gambling Commission's penalty for Platinum Gaming. Also covered are the £1.9 billion Jaguar Land Rover cyberattack, the FCA's call to integrate finance into UK security strategy, EU AML oversight changes, and a large-scale subsidy fraud case in Greece.A transcript of this podcast, with links to the stories, will be available at www.crimes.financial.

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.

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.

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). 945-1000 UN Cyber Crime Treaty: Authoritarian Assault on Free Speech. 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. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Political Shifts and Security Crises Across Latin America. Professor Evan Ellis reported on a shifting Latin American landscape. Argentina's Milei navigates a key election after implementing painful economic cuts, backed by a new US currency swap deal. Bolivia's Luis Arce seeks warmer US ties while managing a severe economic crisis. Peru's president declared a state of emergency to address rampant insecurity and extortion in Lima. Concurrently, the US is escalating pressure on Venezuela's Maduro regime, primarily targeting the criminal Cartel de los Soles leadership. 1015-1030 Political Shifts and Security Crises Across Latin America.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Robert McNamara: From WWII Statistical Control to Kennedy's Star. Professor William Taubman detailed Robert McNamara's rise, beginning as a statistician in WWII advising General Curtis LeMay on firebombing techniques, a success McNamara later regretted as potentially criminal. After becoming president of Ford, he reluctantly joined JFK's administration as Secretary of Defense. McNamara's brilliance and efficiency led Kennedy to admire him as the cabinet's star, even considering him for vice president in 1964 and the presidential candidate in 1968. 1115-1130 Robert McNamara: From WWII Statistical Control to Kennedy's Star.

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.

China and India have fallen in behind Donald Trump’s tough new sanctions on Russian oil, dramatically curtailing their orders for crude oil. That’ll force up prices.

„Ruşine”, „Trădătorule”, „Mergi în Ucraina”, „Eşti cel mai slab preşedinte”. Asa a fost intampinat presedintele Nicusor Dan la Iasi unde a participat la o ceremonie festiva. Potrivit agendei oficiale, seful statului are în program întâlniri separate cu cei doi lideri liberali trimiși în judecată în mai multe dosare de corupției – primarul Mihai Chirica și președintele Consiliului Județean, Costel Alexe.      Vor primi locatarii din Rahova locuințele în sistem de proprietate sau de chirie? Primaria Capitalei si guvernul continua sa aiba opinii diferite in ce priveste apartamentele distruse de explozie in cartierul Rahova. Municipalitatea vrea sa le reconstruiasca si sa le doneze locatarilor in timp ce executivul spune ca nu exista cadrul legal ca sa le ofere gratis. Deocamdata, Primăria va lua măsuri pentru punerea în siguranţă a imobilului şi pentru expertizarea acestuia. Donald Trump își schimbă abordarea- anulează summitul de la Budapesta cu Putin şi sancţionează gigantii energetici ruși Rosneft si Lukoil Ramane de vazut daca aceasta miscare va fi de natura sa determine Moscova sa poarte noi negocieri. Deocamdata, Kremlinul face dinn nou o demonstratie de forta si organizeaza exercitii militare. În momentele cheie ale războiului, Putin are obiceiul de a reaminti puterea nucleară a Rusiei ca avertisment pentru Kiev şi aliaţii săi occidentali. Alexandru Munteanu a fost desemnat candidat la funcția de premier al Republicii Moldova El are termen de 15 zile pentru formarea guvernului si a declarat că noul cabinet va păstra probabil mulți dintre miniștrii guvernului anterior.

În ultimii ani, Chișinăul și-a modernizat strategiile de apărare, punând accent pe modernizarea unei armate rămase cam la nivelul tehnologic al Uniunii Sovietice, iar acum printre priorități sunt apărarea antiaeriană și interoperabilitatea cu armatele statelor UE, declară invitatul Moldova Zoom, secretarul de stat al Ministerului Apărării de la Chișinău, Ghenadie Cojocaru. Acesta spune că parteneriatul în domeniul Apărării dintre Republica Moldova și România trebuie privit „dincolo de orice scenariu de atac sau amenințare directă din partea unor forțe externe ostile”. Un interviu realizat de Liliana Barbăroșie. Temele ediției: - Președinția Maia Sandu a discutat cu opoziția privind desemnarea candidatului pentru funcția de premier. La această oră Maia Sandu se întâlnește și cu reprezentanții partidului de guvernare, care au anunțat joi seara că îl vor înainta de economistul Alexandru Munteanu pentru funcția de premier. O corespondență de Valeria Vițu. - Republica Moldova și România se luptă cu femicidul, însă numai la Chișinău există o lege, atrage atenția jurnalistul Euronews România, Vitalie Cojocari. - Consiliul European salută progresele semnificative ale Republicii Moldova în parcursul de aderare la Uniunea Europeană, iar Chișinăul anunță că este pregătit să deschidă și să închidă în aceeași sesiune de negocieri două dintre capitolele de aderare – cele care țin de educație și cultură. - Se așteaptă ca președinta Maia Sandu să desemneze astăzi candidatura noului prim-ministru. - Sancțiunile americane impuse companiilor petroliere rusești Rosneft și Lukoil nu vor afecta aprovizionarea cu combustibil a Republicii Moldova. - Directorul Serviciului de Informații și Securitate de la Chișinău, Alexandru Musteața, a mers joi la Comrat, capitala autonomiei găgăuze, pro-ruse, care se confruntă cu un vid de ptuere. Știrile zilei: Consiliul European a salutat progresele semnificative ale Republicii Moldova în parcursul de aderare la Uniunea Europeană și a reafirmat sprijinul ferm al celor 27 de state pentru integrarea europeană a țării. În concluziile adoptate joi seara la Bruxelles, liderii europeni au felicitat autoritățile de la Chișinău pentru angajamentul ferm și măsurile eficiente pentru protejarea integrității recentelor alegeri parlamentare, în pofida ingerințelor hibride ale Federației Ruse. „Uniunea Europeană va continua să colaboreze îndeaproape cu Republica Moldova pentru a consolida reziliența și stabilitatea țării și pentru a valorifica experiența acesteia prin lecțiile învățate”, se menționează în textul oficial al Concluziilor Consiliului European. *** Vicepremiera pentru integrare europeană, Cristina Gherasimov, a salutat concluziile reuniunii de la Bruxelles, subliniind că acestea, citez, „ne dau multă încredere și sunt o recunoaștere a muncii depuse de Guvern și de societate pentru reformele în drumul spre UE”. Sprijinul celor 27 de lideri de state este un semn că ușile Uniunii Europene sunt larg deschise pentru Republica Moldova”, a declarat Cristina Gherasimov. Aceasta a mai spus că Moldova este pregătită să deschidă și să închidă în aceeași sesiune de negocieri două dintre capitolele de aderare la Uniunea Europeană – capitolele 25 și 26, care țin de educație și cultură, care au fost deja aliniate la normele europene. *** Președinția Maia Sandu a discută cu liderii grupurilor parlamentare despre desemnarea noului premier. Ieri după amiaza aceasta s-a întâlnit cu opoziția, iar la această oră discuțiile continuă cu reprezentanții partidului de guvernare, care au anunțat aseară că îl vor înainta pe economistul Alexandru Munteanu pentru funcția de prim-ministru. Anunțul a fost făcut de liderul PAS, Igor Grosu, după ședința Consiliului Politic Național al partidului. Potrivit lui Grosu, Munteanu este „un om cu profilul și experiența care se pliază pe necesitățile actuale ale Republicii Moldova, în special în ceea ce privește creșterea economică”. *** Parteneriatul în domeniul Apărării dintre Republica Moldova și România trebuie privit „dincolo de orice scenariu de atac sau amenințare directă”, a declarat pentru RFI secretarul de stat al Ministerului Apărării de la Chișinău, Ghenadie Cojocaru. La București, șeful Statului Major al Apărării, Gheorghiță Vlad, a declarat recent că România are instrumentele politice, militare și de altă natură, pentru a sprijini Moldova, și mai ales cetățenii români din Republica Moldova, în cazul unei agresiuni externe. Secretarul de stat al Ministerului Apărării de la Chișinău a mai subliniat că noua strategie militară a Republicii Moldova, criticată de Rusia, schimbă filosofia de apărare a țării și mizează pe cooperarea cu România — un partener considerat „mai mult decât strategic”. *** Sancțiunile americane impuse companiilor petroliere rusești Rosneft și Lukoil nu vor afecta aprovizionarea cu combustibil a Republicii Moldova. Asigurările în acest sens au fost date de ministrul în exercițiu al energiei, Dorin Junghietu. Oficialul a spus că nu există riscul ca Moldova să rămână fără combustibil, nici acum, nici pe viitor. Marea majoritate a produselor petroliere sunt importate din România. *** Directorul Serviciului de Informații și Securitate de la Chișinău, Alexandru Musteața, a mers joi la Comrat, capitala autonomiei găgăuze. Autonomia, cunoscută pentru orientarea sa pro-rusă, este controlată în prezent de adepți ai oligarhului fugar Ilan Șor, care a coordonat rețeaua rusească de deturnare a alegerilor din Republica Moldova. Autonomia se confruntă cu un vid de putere, după ce șefa administrației, bașkana Evghenia Guțul, a fost condamnată la 7 ani de închisoare pentru implicare în finanțarea ilegală a partidului condus de Ilan Șor. În plus, mandatul legislativului local, numit Adunarea Populară, expiră în noiembrie, iar comisia electorală a autonomiei, care ar trebui să anunțe alegeri noi, a fost dizolvată de aleșii locali acum doi ani. În aceste condiții, Chișinăul caută soluții pentru a aduce autonomia în logica statului de drept. În urma discuțiilor cu șeful Serviciului de Informații și Securitate, Adunarea Populară a Găgăuziei a anunțat crearea unui grup de lucru cu Parlamentul de la Chișinău pentru asigurarea funcționalității regiunii.

Presa internațională analizează eficacitatea noilor sancțiuni impuse de Statele Unite companiilor petroliere rusești. Casa Albă încearcă să priveze „mașina de război a Kremlinului” de venituri pentru a-l forța pe Vladimir Putin să vină la masa negocierilor, spun comentatorii. Există însă și semne de întrebare. Washingtonul tocmai a transmis Moscovei „un semnal clar că răbdarea lui Trump față de Putin se epuizează”, rezumă The Wall Street Journal. ”Kremlinul se luptă deja să finanțeze guvernarea și armata, astfel că sencțiunile vor afecta capacitatea Rusiei de a continua războiul și ar putea fi un factor determinant în împingerea lui Putin la masa negocierilor”. Potrivit explicațiilor oferite de ABC News,   ”Rosneft și Lukoil, vizate de aceste măsuri, sunt două dintre cele mai mari companii energetice din lume și exportă împreună 3,1 milioane de barili de petrol pe zi. Rosneft este responsabilă singură pentru 6% din producția globală de petrol și aproape jumătate din producția totală de petrol a Rusiei. Sancțiunile sunt primele împotriva Rusiei, de când președintele Trump a preluat mandatul în ianuarie”.     BBC transmite că ”aceste sancțiuni vor da cu siguranță o lovitură economiei Rusiei, taxele din industria petrolului și gazelor reprezentând aproximativ un sfert din bugetul federației. Dar efectele în lanț s-ar putea resimți și mult mai departe. Petrolul și gazele sunt cele mai mari exporturi ale Rusiei și printre cei mai mari clienți ai Moscovei se numără China și India, cele mai populate două țări din lume, precum și Turcia. Împreună, China și India reprezintă cea mai mare parte a exporturilor de produse energetice ale Rusiei” Le Monde notează că, fidel stilului său categoric mai puțin diplomatic, Dmitri Medvedev, adjunctul Consiliului de Securitate al Rusiei și fost președinte rus, a declarat joi că deciziile administrației Trump de a anula un summit la Budapesta și de a impune sancțiuni companiilor petroliere rusești arată că Washingtonul este „în război” cu Moscova. Și că acum, Trump s-a aliniat complet cu Europa nebună.” Un expert consultat de Bloomberg se arată circumspect în legătură cu efectele acestor măsuri: ”Casa Albă se amăgește crezând că acest lucru va duce la o schimbare radicală în conduita Kremlinului sau în politica lui Putin. Kremlinul s-a dovedit a fi foarte priceput în a ocoli astfel de sancțiuni.” În timp ce alți specialiști, consultați de The Guardian, consideră că ”fluxul de petrol rusesc către India - o țară care a devenit un cumpărător major în ultimii trei ani - ar putea scădea drastic ca urmare a sancțiunilor americane. Trump a făcut presiuni asupra prim-ministrului Indiei, Narendra Modi, pentru a pune capăt importurilor, iar noile măsuri ar putea accelera aceste mișcări, oferind rafinăriilor indiene o modalitate de a ieși din contractele în care au fost blocate pentru anii următori. Analiștii mai spun că promisiunea din campanie a lui Trump de a menține prețurile la benzină la un nivel scăzut și de a gestiona criza costului vieții ar putea dilua impactul noilor sancțiuni, dacă acestea încep să afecteze dramatic prețul petrolului.”

À la Une de la presse, ce vendredi 24 octobre : des sanctions américaines contre les pétroliers russes Rosneft et Lukoil, des paris illégaux qui secouent la NBA, et un concours de photographie animalière, les Nikon Comedy Wildlife Awards, qui met en lumière les moments les plus cocasses et surprenants du règne animal.

Ukrayna savaşını sona erdirmek konusunda son haftalarda taze adımlar atan Başkan Trump, Rus petrol şirketleri Lukoil ve Rosneft'e yaptırımlar açıkladı. Şimdiye kadar Rusya'nın enerji sektörünü doğrudan hedef almaktan kaçınan Trump yönetimi, bu adımın sinyallerini Hindistan'a karşı ek gümrük vergilerini artırarak vermişti. Trump'ın Avrupa'yı Rusya'yla enerji alışverişini kesmemekle suçlaması ve Türkiye'den de enerji ticaretini azaltmasını istemesi Moskova'ya karşı ekonomik baskıyı artırma niyetinde olduğunu gösteriyordu. Asıl amacının Putin'i müzakere masasına çekmek olduğunu ve aslında yaptırımların sonuç vermesine karşı da şüpheli yaklaştığını söyleyen Trump, Rusya'nın ateşkese niyetinin olmadığını ve maksimalist taleplerinden vazgeçmediğini anlamış görünüyor.

The United States has imposed new sanctions on Russia's two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, in an effort to pressure Moscow into peace negotiations.

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. However, President Trump continued to talk up prospects of a deal with President Xi at their upcoming APEC meeting. In energy markets, oil surged after Washington imposed sanctions on Russia's two largest oil producers, Rosneft and Lukoil, for undermining Ukraine peace efforts, while Europe moved toward banning Russian LNG imports. Earnings also drew focus, with high-profile misses from Netflix and Texas Instruments offset by strength in industrial and energy names.Companies Mentioned: Warner Bros.

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 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. In this edition, we'll explore how this decision could affect global buyers of Russian oil, particularly in India.

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 ?

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:

De fanboys van Tesla staan raar te kijken. De winst van Tesla is in het derde kwartaal gekelderd en de kosten zijn enorm opgelopen. De grote leider van hun bedrijf had het over heel veel dingen, maar niet over een plan voor winstgevendheid. Ook had Musk het niet echt over auto's.Is Tesla nog wel een autobouwer?

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. He explains why next week is the one to watch out for though, as it should reveal whether or not AI momentum is still building.(00:00) - Introduction: Helen Freer, Product & Investment Content (00:31) - Markets wrap-up: Bernadette Anderko, Product & Investment Content (06:11) - Earnings season update: Mathieu Racheter, Head of Equity Strategy (10:22) - Closing remarks: Helen Freer, Product & Investment Content Would you like to support this show?

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo’ desta quinta-feira (23/10/2025): Os EUA impuseram ontem as sanções à Rússia desde que Donald Trump voltou à Casa Branca, em janeiro. O alvo são duas das maiores empresas de energia da Rússia – Rosneft e Lukoil. A justificativa é a intransigência de Vladimir Putin em negociar o fim da guerra na Ucrânia. Enquanto protela as negociações, o líder russo ganha território para chegar a um acordo de paz em posição mais sólida. A única medida hostil à Rússia imposta por Trump havia sido uma tarifa de 25% sobre produtos da Índia, em resposta à compra de petróleo russo. A inação de Trump até agora contrasta com o governo de Joe Biden, que impôs aos russos, em média, 170 sanções por mês, entre 2022 e 2024. Ao difundir a punição de ontem, os EUA afirmaram que terceiros que comprem petróleo russo podem ser atingidos pelas punições. E mais: Economia: Senado tira da meta R$ 30 bi em 6 anos para Defesa fazer investimentos Política: Conselho de Ética arquiva pedido de cassação do mandato de Eduardo Metrópole: Lewandowski apresenta ao governo projeto antifacção que endurece penas Internacional: EUA atacam pela primeira vez embarcação no PacíficoSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Statele membre au aprobat al 19-lea pachet de sancțiuni împotriva Moscovei. Decizia a venit la doar câteva ore după ce SUA au sancționat două mari companii petroliere rusești, Rosneft și Lukoil. La Bruxelles se discuta si despre utilizarea activelor rusești înghețate în UE pentru acordarea unui împrumut de 140 de miliarde de euro Ucrainei, dar aici nu toate capitalele sunt de acord.      America a impus sancțiuni împotriva celor mai mari companii petroliere rusești- Rosneft si Lukoil- din cauza „lipsei unui angajament serios din partea Rusiei față de un proces de pace care să pună capăt războiului din Ucraina” La noi, Lukoil este un jucator important in economie, cu rafinarie si peste 300 de benzinarii dar este inclus si in alte activitati economice. Cat de eficient este acest pachet de sanctiuni dar si care sunt consecintele asupra economiei romanesti, discutam in aceasta seara.   Comisia Europeană a aprobat varianta finală a Planului Naţional de Redresare şi Rezilienţă al României Noua valoarea a PNRR este de 21,41 miliarde de euro. „Am eliminat investiţiile cu risc major", spune Dragos Pislaru, ministrul investitiilor si proiectelor europene. Aceste fonduri vor merge către investiţii în infrastructură, spitale, digitalizare şi modernizarea administraţiei, spune premierul Ilie Bolojan.

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.

2025-10-09 | Silicon Wafers 024 | Russia is starting to experience the dramatic economic shock, that we've long been predicting: In October 2025, the Russian stock market crashes — we ask: What does a falling Moscow Exchange tell us about the war, the war economy, Putin's regime, and war in Europe. Here's the roadmap:1. What just happened — the crash and immediate reactions2. Longer-term economic context: how Russia's wartime economy has held up, and where the cracks were emerging3. Voices from analysts, critics, and regime watchers on what this crash signals4. Regime risk, war funding, elite recalibration — what's at stake internally5. Broader implications for the war in Ukraine, and updates from the war front and economyThe October 2025 Crash — What Broke. On October 8, 2025, Russian equities lurched downward in their sharpest one-day drop in three years. (The Moscow Times) The MOEX (Moscow Exchange) index plunged 4.05 percent to 2,563.3 points, the lowest since December 2024. (The Moscow Times) Key state-linked giants were hammered: Gazprom off 4.1 percent, Sberbank nearly 4.9 percent, VTB 4.7 percent, Rosneft 2.5 percent. (The Moscow Times) Mechel and other heavy industrials fell even harder. (The Moscow Times)----------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.

It is now 2025, and this story is far from over.https://www.youtube.com/@UCz6UbVKfqutH-N7WXnC5Ykg https://www.kyivofmine.com/#theprojectKyiv of Mine is fast paced, beautifully filmed, humorous, fun, insightful, heartbreaking, moving, hopeful.
