The Russian government is in fact receiving less revenue from its oil sales after Washington temporarily allowed the sale of Russian oil and petroleum products that were already loaded onto ships, UATV English <\/a>reports.<\/p>\n

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated this in an interview with\u00a0NBC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhich is better: does Russia get more money if oil goes to $150 and they get 70% of that? Or if oil stays below $100? So they are getting less money. Our analysis shows that the maximum extra amount Russia could get would be two billion dollars, which equals one day of the Russian Federation\u2019s budget,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to Bessent, the Russians would still get money because China buys 90% of their oil.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were substantially able to degrade their [Russian] exports, that dropped by about 25% when the rest of the world isn\u2019t buying it [Russian oil]. Export\u2019s down, but there was a life line in China. Now we have opened this [Russian oil] to everyone,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

As previously reported, the U.S.\u00a0Treasury Department simultaneously issued a license\u00a0allowing the sale of Russian crude oil and petroleum products already loaded onto ships. The license temporarily allows countries to buy Russian oil that is currently \u201cstuck at sea.\u201d The permit is valid from March 12 to April 11.<\/p>\n

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the U.S. decision to temporarily allow the sale of Russian oil and petroleum products already loaded onto ships\u00a0will give Russia an additional $10 billion.<\/p>\n
