$ME $BERA $0G #

The Offer: US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed today, Feb 12, 2026, that the US is ready to lift oil sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil—but only after a total resolution of the Ukraine war. 📌

Putin’s Rejection: Despite the "trilateral talks" in Abu Dhabi last week, the Kremlin has reportedly rejected the deal, insisting on maximalist territorial demands and international recognition of annexed regions. 🏛️

Energy Bargaining: Bessent stated that ending the war, combined with stabilizing Iran and Venezuela, could flood the market with sanctioned crude and drastically lower global energy prices. ⚡

Sanctions Pressure: The US recently tightened the noose, with Russian oil revenues reportedly falling 50% year-on-year in January 2026 due to stricter enforcement on the "shadow fleet." 📊

The "Stall" Strategy: Analysts at Stratfor suggest Putin is stalling negotiations to manage sanctions pressure while preparing for a major spring-summer offensive. 📈
