Expert predicted how Trump can influence Russia's ability to fight.


Ukrainian entrepreneurs have no hope of improving relations with Russia after Donald Trump became president of the United States. They also do not expect sanctions to be lifted. The main concerns are related to the possible decrease in oil and gas prices.
Attitude towards Russia
Analyst Olga Kurnosova notes that from the very beginning Trump had a negative attitude towards Russia.
For example, he stated that the sanctions do not have as great an effect as expected, and the main thing is the decrease in oil and gas prices. This seriously worries Putin and his regime.
Military funding
According to Kurnosova, this becomes a major problem for Putin. If oil prices fall below 60-50 dollars per barrel, Putin will not have enough money to fund military operations.
Putin simply won't have money for war. Right now he is willing to spend a lot of money on war, but if oil is sold at reduced prices, the money will quickly run out. This is very dangerous for Russia if Trump lowers global oil prices.
Thus, Trump's victory in the elections creates serious concerns among Russian entrepreneurs. They believe that the decrease in oil and gas prices will be a heavier blow than sanctions, and could seriously damage Russia.
