Donald Trump’s team is developing a large-scale sanctions strategy that should contribute to a settlement between Russia and Ukraine in the coming months, writes Bloomberg.

The following is the text in the original language. According to the agency's information, two main approaches are considered. One of them, since the end of the war against Ukraine is near, transfers calls to support Russian oil producers, which were lost under sanctions. Another option is to avoid sanctions.

It is expected that a mild approach could include, for example, raising the price of naphtha to $60 per barrel, which would allow Russian naphtha to continue to enter the market.

A more aggressive strategy against Russia could include increased enforcement of secondary sanctions that would impose fines on European shipping companies and Asian buyers, including big companies in China and India..

Another possible option is to strengthen control over tankers transporting Russian naphtha through key channels in Denmark and Turkey..

This is already predictable by the publication of new “rules of the game” by the upcoming US administration. The most important change is the appearance of a “carrot” for the Russian Federation on the aphids of the powerful “batoga”. The same “business logic” that many have seen from Trump and his team. What you ask for from the spy of the Kremlin gang is great food.
