“ “Oleg Deripaska, Russian billionaire: if the US gains control over Venezuela's oil production, the Russian budget will face problems.

"If our American ‘partners’ get their hands on Venezuela’s oil fields (and they have already reached those in Guyana), more than half of the world’s oil reserves will end up under their control," Deripaska wrote.

According to Deripaska, the United States plans to "make sure" that the price of Russian oil "does not rise above $50 per barrel," and such a scenario threatens Russia’s current economic model.

"This means that our so-called sacred state capitalism will find it difficult to keep everything as it is: not cutting costs, not getting rid of non-core assets, and continuing to pursue grand projects without the necessary expertise and without the involvement of private business," Deripaska noted.

Deripaska added that it will also become "harder for the Russian authorities to put pressure on private business," which "starting this year is becoming the main taxpayer to the federal budget."

“ “Russia has lost everything. Everything. The war is lost." - *Andrey Zubov.

"The war is lost. You can say that to your opponent. The war is already lost in all directions. It's lost on the battlefield. They didn't go anywhere, not to Kharkiv, not to Kyiv, especially not to Lviv. They didn't go anywhere.

It's lost on the diplomatic level. All civilised countries have turned away from Russia. Just recently, Japan sent a large tranche to help Ukraine. And as for Europe, I'm not even talking. As for Trump, well, it's a strange phenomenon that the Americans themselves will probably be ashamed of later. But nevertheless, there's a very powerful movement in America in support of Ukraine, both in the Republican and Democratic parties, just in society.

Russia, once a truly great power, a member of the G8, became a satellite of China, which is now a raw materials appendage of China.

Its allies, it was on the threshold of NATO. In 2002, the issue of joining NATO was already being discussed very seriously, and the same Prime Minister Kasyanov was for joining NATO, and putin said that it was possible, we should think about it.

Well, now what NATO? Now the allies are North Korea, which journalists in Russia have also been poking fun at for so many years, about Kim Jong-un and so on. But it turned out that it wasn't worth poking fun at, that North Korean troops are fighting side-by-side with the Russians on the Ukrainian front.

This is Iran with these crazy ayatollahs, it turned out that these crazy ayatollahs there provide weapons and they're being used actively.

And finally, China itself, which also, if we were delighted, then for its economic successes, but certainly not for its totalitarian system. And now China is the main pillar of the putin regime and putin’s totalitarian system. So, naturally, Russia has suffered a humanitarian defeat, a mass of cultural people have left, I would say, the cultural elite of Russia, the Russian youth.

Well, and old people like me, we left, we don't want anything to do with this regime. Russia has lost hundreds of thousands of its people, and with a low birth rate and a poor level of education, it's very sensitive. Russia has lost its culture, because the level of education has dropped sharply and, as a matter of fact, Russia has lost everything. Everything. The war is lost."

*Andrey Zubov: A prominent Russian historian and political scientist who was famously dismissed from MGIMO (Moscow State Institute of International Relations) in 2014 after criticising the annexation of Crimea.”
