Russia’s revenue from oil exports, against the backdrop of the escalating situation in the Middle East, is not substantial. It represents more of a short-term respite for Russia than a stable financial boost to the aggressor nation’s budget. Economist Andrey Novak made this statement in an interview with the YouTube channel "Komersant Ukrainian".
“They’re making $150 million a day—Russia’s own calculations confirm this,” Novak explained.
At the same time, he emphasized that even such sums are not enough to offset the structural deficit of the Russian budget.

“These are not the volumes that can change the overall picture—this is not about additional windfall profits,” the expert added.
Novak also noted that the situation on the oil market depends primarily on global factors, particularly events in the Middle East and control of key maritime routes.

“The global price of oil depends not on individual decisions regarding Russia, but on global stability,” he said.
