Russia will collapse without nuclear threats or escalation – politician Rybachuk

He shared his opinions with Espreso.

"For us Ukrainians, it's crucial that Russia doesn’t slip out of sanctions. If Russia demands sanctions relief, Trump has a powerful tool: oil. He doesn’t need nuclear threats. Trump recently met with a dozen billionaires at his residence, as reported by Western media, and asked them to chip in a billion each for his campaign, promising big returns. If Trump wants — and he does — Russia will feel the pinch as oil prices drop. For Russia, $50 per barrel is already tough, and Saudi Arabia can take it down to $20, with some countries offering even lower costs. This would push Russia out of the market, and it’s a strong card for Trump, considering 75% of Russia’s budget relies on oil exports," Rybachuk explained.

Russia would collapse quickly, without nuclear threats or escalation — just simple, effective economics. This is part of Trump’s plan, the politician added.

"The Biden administration focuses on green policies, regulating and blocking gas and oil pipelines, and restricting drilling. Trump, on the other hand, champions ‘drill, baby, drill’ and aims to make America a leader in oil and gas. Europeans are already lining up for American liquefied gas, and Saudi Arabia previously resisted boosting production to avoid aligning with Biden," he concluded.

• On November 13, Trump announced key appointments for his team, naming future heads of Homeland Security, Defense, and the CIA.
• Trump, as the winner of the U.S. presidential election, will soon appoint a special representative to lead negotiations to end the war in Ukraine.
