To live without Russian fuel. As sanctions change the market in favor of Ukraine

More than 20 countries now supply fuel to Ukraine - sometimes it is of the most exotic origin. This clearly illustrates, writes market expert Sergei Kuyun that it is quite possible to live without Russian fuel, and Ukraine has proven it first in the world. I am often asked how American and other exotic fuel enters Ukraine? So it is expensive! (Remember Svirid Opanasovich with "Two rabbits"?) So the fuel market works - if necessary, they will bring through the whole planet.

Because you can not sell your goods everywhere. And sometimes you just can't sell it through sanctions. I illustrate the example of Belarus. By 2022, they were almost the entire export resource, such as the diesel, they sold 30 dollars in Ukraine for quotation. If the Russians did not argue this madness, today Belarusians would earn about $ 900/t. But thanks to themselves and their Moscow partners, Belarusians cannot sell fuel in Ukraine or Europe.

According to us, they are forced to send their goods through Russian ports to Saudi Arabia and other "near" points or rail in Central Asia. Due to the crazy distances, they receive $ 350-400/t. Similarly, the Russians trade. In recent months, they have been increasing the supply of diesel to Brazil - this is 15 thousand km. And there, in Brazil, to buy loyalty of local authorities, they still have to give a discount to the market.

This all leads to the loss of the aggressor, and this is the aim of sanctions. This process has the other side ☺ Traditional suppliers of petroleum products to Africa, Asia, South America are displaced by "sub -fuel" and forced to look for new markets. Because their "markets" are transfused and the price is low.

That is why, more and more often in Europe and Ukraine, a state product, a fuel from the Persian Gulf and India, which, buying cheap Russian oil, receives a low cost product at the refinery and therefore has a long logistics shoulder. These suppliers are more economically interesting to carry a product to distant Europe than to sell for nothing in their region.

Ukraine is experiencing global transformations like no other (by and large, we have initiated a change in global energy flows when sanctions against the enemy were achieved). We are currently getting fuel from more than 20 countries: Belgium, Bulgaria, Poland, Greece, Israel, India, Italy, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Lithuania, Netherlands, Germany, UAE, Saudi Arabia, USA, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Turkmenistan, Turkmenistan, Turkmenistan, Turkmenistan Finland, Sweden.
