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).

Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. Rudyard and Janice start the show with the big news stories coming out of Gaza this week: the public executions Hamas is conducting in the Gaza strip in order to terrorize and intimidate civilians, and the Israeli government's growing concern that Hamas is breaking the ceasefire deal by not returning all of the dead hostages as agreed upon. How will rival Gaza clans thwart Hamas's attempt to cling to power? Could Gaza be on the verge of a civil war? How fast can you get a rudimentary police force to make Hamas pull back? And perhaps most importantly, who would want to go in there? Janice is optimistic that this time, at least, the Arab world is taking ownership over this problem in a way they never have before. In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice turn to an important phone call that took place this week between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin just ahead of Zelensky's visit today to Washington, where the Ukrainian President intends to make the case for long-range Tomahawk missiles to hit targets deep inside Russia. The transfer of these weapons, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warned this week, could lead to nuclear war. Meanwhile, Europeans have never been more scared, interpreting Russia's drone excursions into NATO territory as preparation for a larger war with the continent. Are weak European governments using the bogeyman of Russia to rally their public to distract from domestic problems and rising populism? Everybody is rolling the dice here, and when you do that there is always a chance that someone will miscalculate, and everyone will pay the heavy price.

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.

1. Purpose of the Sanctions The sanctions aim to cripple Russia’s ability to fund its war in Ukraine by targeting its oil revenue, which is a major source of economic and military support. The U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control stated the move is intended to degrade Russia’s war machine and economy. 2. Political Context The sanctions follow a canceled meeting between Trump and Putin, signaling rising tensions and frustration. Trump’s administration is positioning this as a shift toward “peace through strength”, emphasizing economic pressure over diplomacy. 3. Economic Implications Russia may be forced to lower oil prices or reduce production, both of which would hurt its economy. The sanctions could lead to global oil price spikes and affect energy markets. The effectiveness depends on international coordination, especially with major buyers like India and China. 4. Domestic Political Support There is bipartisan support in Congress for the sanctions. Speaker Mike Johnson and Senator Mullin both expressed strong backing, framing the move as overdue and necessary. Trump described the sanctions as “very big and tremendous,” indicating a serious escalation. 5. Strategic Considerations The podcast suggests this is just the first step in a broader strategy, potentially including: Secondary sanctions on countries buying Russian oil. Tariffs on Russian oil imports. Military aid to Ukraine via European purchases. 6. Diplomatic Messaging The sanctions are also framed as a lever for diplomacy, with calls for a ceasefire. Trump’s rhetoric and canceled meeting with Putin reflect a hardening stance after failed diplomatic efforts. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

From the BBC World Service: In an effort to pressure Moscow to negotiate a peace deal in Ukraine, the United States has announced new sanctions on Russian oil. The sanctions effectively blacklist two of Russia's major oil export companies, and that has big implications for both India and China, which rely heavily on Russian oil imports. And then recent talks to make the shipping industry greener have stalled. So what's the industry doing to cut emissions?
The US has announced new sanctions targeting Russia's two largest oil companies in an effort to persuade Moscow to negotiate a peace deal in Ukraine.The announcement came one day after US President Donald Trump said a planned meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Budapest would be shelved indefinitely. Could this put pressure on Vladimir Putin to end his war with Ukraine?Also in the programme: A former British paratrooper has been found not guilty of murdering two people in shootings at a civil rights march in Northern Ireland in 1972 - an event which became known as "Bloody Sunday"; and the youngest-ever winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Malala Yousafszai, tells us what it was like being accompanied by a security detail at university.(Photo shows US President Donald Trump at the White House in Washington DC on 17 October 2025.

In the last week, Volodymyr Zelensky failed to secure long-range Tomahawk missiles from Donald Trump during a reportendly heated meeting. Then, a planned summit in Budapest between the US and Russian presidents was called off by Trump who said it would have been a ‘waste of time'.But, the White House has now increased the pressure on the Kremlin announcing sanctions on Russia's two largest oil companies, a first for the Trump administration since his return to office. But will these sanctions be enough to push Putin to the negotiating table? Or will the Kremlin see them as an escalation?

This week, historian Remco Breuker explores how Pyongyang has built illicit networks that operate far beyond its borders to oversee labor exports, arrange business deals and traffic arms. He reflects on the collapse of the U.N. Panel of Experts that once tracked sanctions violations, warning that the world has lost a vital mechanism for understanding and constraining North Korea's overseas operations. He also argues for rebuilding expertise on the country's financial and labor networks to regain leverage, while questioning the effectiveness and ethics of existing sanctions. Remco Breuker is a historian who works on medieval Korean and Northeast Asian history and on contemporary North Korean affairs. Since 2014, he has been working on making the voices of elite exiles from the DPRK heard in academic debates. He is the author of a number of books about North Korea, most recently “De Wereld volgens Noord-Korea” (“The World According to North Korea”).

Tara breaks down the overblown panic about artificial intelligence taking over the workforce — from Amazon's lofty automation plans to Meta's quiet layoffs in its AI division. The truth? The “AI takeover” is more hype than reality, and the media loves to stoke fear for clicks. Tara explains why real jobs still need real people, and how every tech “revolution” just shifts — not eliminates — employment. Then, she dives into President Trump's bold new sanctions on Russia's oil giants, calling it the smartest and safest strategy yet. No missiles. No global war. Just economic pressure that actually works. Tara reminds listeners that sanctions, not tomahawks, are the path to peace — and warns against the reckless foreign policy that could spark World War III.

Bjarne Caesar Skinnerup works as a maritime pilot in the straits of Denmark. That means he's used to seeing oil tankers. But after the start of the war in Ukraine, the tankers started getting weird. They were flying flags he'd never seen before. They were old, very old, though many had taken on new names. Something was off. He'd stumbled on a shadow fleet of hundreds of tankers ferrying sanctioned oil out of Russia … with near impunity. Today on the show, how those ships are transforming the global oil market and fueling the war in Ukraine. And why this all might be a financial and environmental disaster waiting to happen.Pre-order the Planet Money book and get a free gift. / Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.This episode was hosted by Alexi Horowitz-Ghazi and Daniel Ackerman.

HEADLINE: Russian War Economy Stalls as Oil Prices Decline and Sanctions Bite GUEST NAME: Michael Bernstam SUMMARY: Michael Bernstam reports that the Russian economy is struggling as global oil prices decline and sanctions increase transportation costs, leading to a $13 to $14 per barrel discount on Russian oil. The "military Keynesianism" economy is exhausted, resulting in staff cuts across industrial sectors. Forecasts indicate contraction in late 2025 and 2026, with the IMF lowering its growth projection for 2025 to 0.6%. Russia is avoiding sanctions by routing payments through neighbors like Kyrgyzstan, who have become major financial hubs. 1945
Edition No255 ||| Day 1,341 ||| 16-10-2025 - This is your Silicon Bites Daily Geopolitics Brief, with a rundown of news stories on 16th October 2025. 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. Reuters: Britain targeted “its two largest oil firms… as well as 44 tankers in the ‘shadow fleet'.” (Oct 15) (Reuters)----------This is super important.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on @TheEmilyDBaker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/HjvO3HH4sSo Join us for the attorney sanctions and post-trial litigation surrounding the Cardi B case, focusing on the plaintiff's attorney, Ron Rosen Janfaza. We explore a prior incident from July 2023 where the same attorney allegedly caused a mistrial in a medical malpractice case due to a physical altercation in the hallway and was sanctioned over $22k for discovery violations. The current sanction hearing set for October 17th, where Cardi B's attorney, Peter Anderson, has filed 25 distinct counts of violations against Ron Rosen. These include disregarding court orders, arguing facts not in evidence, making appeals to juror sympathies, misrepresenting evidence, and expressing personal opinions during closing arguments. Ron Rosen's response to the allegations is also covered, where he denies a physical altercation, claims he is not a "seasoned trial attorney," and attempts to shift blame by accusing Cardi B and her attorney of misconduct, including threatening to report him to the state bar and Cardi B throwing a pen and a microphone in separate incidents. More paperwork might get filed. Stay tuned for updates on this unfolding legal drama!
