Russia’s Oil Crisis Just Hit a Breaking Point

Something huge is happening beneath the world’s shipping lanes — and it could dismantle the lifeline keeping Putin’s war afloat. After years of dodging Western restrictions, Russia’s secret “shadow fleet” — the network of ageing tankers smuggling its oil around the world — is finally being cornered.

With Trump’s new secondary sanctions targeting Rosneft and Lukoil, two of Russia’s biggest oil giants, Moscow’s entire workaround is now under threat. Banks, insurers, and traders are already pulling back — terrified of being cut off from the dollar system.

So in this video, I break down how Trump’s sanctions are taking aim at the Kremlin’s last economic escape hatch, how Ukraine’s strikes are accelerating the pressure, and why this could mark the beginning of a new phase in the war — one fought not on the battlefield, but through bank ledgers and tankers at sea.
