Trump’s Ultimatum Impacts Russia’s Economy

Source of the Source about “surprises” from Trump for the Kremlin:
 
“After the inauguration, Trump issued an official ultimatum to the Russian Federation with the same unacceptable conditions for the [pro-Chinese Kremlin group](https://t.me/vchkogpu/54170) as in December. Further, Trump publicly outlined the next blow if the Russian Federation refuses to accept his conditions – working with OPEC (primarily with Saudi Arabia, whose military defense is fully provided by the United States) to lift restrictions, increase production and reduce oil prices. Putin is fully aware that the indicated actions are, firstly, feasible, and secondly, they can lead to a decrease in oil prices by 30-40%, which will hit the budget and the entire economy of the Russian Federation already in 2025 (under current internal conditions). If the dominant elite group does not want to surrender the interests of China, it must proactively restructure its domestic policy before receiving significant damage from Trump’s actions – in simple words – it must show the United States that it is ready to strongly attack the interests of its own citizens and show its strength within the country. This political fact may significantly accelerate the introduction of restrictions on the withdrawal of rubles from accounts by individuals and the devaluation of the ruble, which still need to be carried out sooner or later for economic reasons.”
