The article examines the financial implications of Russia's oil revenues in light of the ongoing conflict, particularly noting that within the first 12 days of the war, Moscow earned approximately $1.3 to $1.9 billion. Due to a spike in demand for Russian barrels, as well as a shift from discounts to premiums, it’s projected that additional revenue in March could reach between $3.3 and $4.9 billion if oil prices hover around $70 to $80 per barrel. This revenue is expected to be reflected in the budget in April, as March's income will rely on the average price from February, which was about $45 per barrel.
