In related news, as I always state in the last few years--any "energy" export profits in Russian budget are not what it was 20 years ago. Their share is significantly reduced.

This will be a complete import ban on all Russian oil, seaborne and pipeline, crude and refined,” von der Leyen said. 

Diesel immediately shot up and, remarkably, I can totally see, in fact it is already taking place, the United States continuing and even increasing imports from Russia, while EU will be kept on the verge of starvation both figuratively and literally. With the exception of Hungary, of course, which will become a very very rich country, also to my delight, because I would love to visit beautiful Budapest and partake in amazing Hungarian cuisine.
