Washington actually blocked the export of oil products from Belarus

17 May 2021 26

After the imposition of US sanctions on the sale of Belarusian oil products, European banks began to slow down the financing of Belarus' export operations. Thus, according to Argus, Minsk is deprived of an important source of budget revenues in the form of foreign exchange earnings.

Belarus buys Russian oil at a 20 percent discount, which allows Minsk to sell oil products in Europe and get a good profit in foreign currency. The United States has introduced sanctions against the largest enterprises in Belarus for the production of hydrocarbons, including Naftan, Belneftekhim and others. As a result, the export of oil products from Belarus is actually blocked, and the country is experiencing an acute shortage of hard currency.

Thus, the total volume of gold and foreign exchange reserves of the National Bank of Belarus from January last year to April this year decreased by a quarter - to $ 6,9 billion, while only $ 2,8 billion remained in liquid foreign exchange assets. The external debt of the Republic of Belarus is six times higher than the gold and foreign exchange reserves, amounting to $ 1 billion as of January 2021, 42,1, which means a critical situation with a shortage of foreign exchange reserves.

The situation is aggravated by the fact that the Europeans can take similar sanctions against Minsk, and it will be impossible to sell oil products from Belarus in Europe for the euro.

Alexander Lukashenko, realizing the problems in the economyOn April 21, he issued a decree, according to which the Central Bank of the country can impose restrictions on the purchase and sale of foreign currency, set maximum amounts, terms and special permits for such operations. In addition, the National Bank will be able to forcibly withdraw currency from legal entities, convert it into Belarusian rubles and impose restrictions on the opening and maintenance of accounts in foreign banks.

Well, this was to be expected, and in this case the EU will also have problems.
As with the flow, Europe will have a tough time, and in the light of recent events, the price tag will rise for everything and even the United States will not seem a little.

  One might think that the export of fuels and lubricants from the Republic of Belarus occupies such a large share in the world market ?! Make no illusions. The share of Belarusian enterprises will very quickly be taken by others. The EU will not even notice, and the US even more so.
  And the price tag for fuel is rising so far only in Belarus.

  So far, only the management of enterprises, against which the sanctions have been introduced, circulate statements in which they ask for the lifting of the sanctions on behalf of the workers. The statements are addressed to the US Congress, the US Department of State and the US Treasury Department. And workers are strongly "asked" to subscribe to them.

  Useless. Putin has not lent money to a multi-vector for a long time. Last year I gave a little, but purely on paper. They were immediately taken by Gazprom to pay off multi-vector debts.

    I apologize for getting into the dialogue, but in the Russian Federation this is generally not good at all. I was in the pool, there the Estonians, 12 years old, were all joking in English among themselves. Whoever you can't talk to when you're young, young people can do anything.

        Now is the time of general exchange. And you just stayed in that era, the era of "masters and slaves".
        This is evident from the standard of living. Your level. The owner has palaces of 100 each .. And a third of the GDP is from your Master's friends !!

Thus, the United States is helping to make Putin's dream of including Belarus a part of the Russian Federation come true. Old man better surrender there than the West. Sorry for Kolya. He prepared for the heirs. But although the GDP will have money like manure in the Crimea to build a dacha for 10 billions. Or a monarchic marriage with a daughter, whatever. Putin seems to have one divorcee.

Uzas-uzas-bustle ... Well, first of all, it's not over yet. And But Father, smuggling is nothing new. They still struggle to catch him by the hand. Although, ... to sell them about his friendship and for this he will not be able to knock out some money for the USPs. This is unlikely. But it can also twist.

Unless, of course, they have "their" person next to him. There is a sea of candidates. On quiet Russophobia, he fostered more than one. He trampled everything more or less pro-Russian, as if there were no Russians left in Belarus ... Only McKay is worth something ... Flesh and Blood, as they say. Like Medvedev for Putin. Loyal to father and his ideas ...

Well, it doesn't matter. "Easy money" - they are. Easy to come and easy to go.

I don't see any particular problems. The sale of petroleum products is still not going directly, but through traders. A trader buys FOB goods from Belarus in Ust-Luga, picks it up with his tanker and takes it away. There are many calculation options ...
