A number of factors have created serious challenges for the Russian energy industry, forcing the country’s authorities to look for ways to adapt to new economic facts.

Russia’s income from oil exports fell 20%, which has been the result of a number of factors, such as a reduction in energy prices in the world, increased tax pressure and the influence of international penalties. This was announced by Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service on Tuesday, August 12, on its own Telegram Channel.

According to Svra, since the beginning of the year, oil and gas have been significantly reduced. During the period from January to July 2025, Russian oil and gas budget revenues were reduced by 18.5% compared to last year, reaching $ 69.2 billion.

Just in July, the receipts fell 27%, worth $ 9.9 billion, and the income from mining tax fees decreased by 34.3%.

Also, according to intelligence, the company Gazpromneft Shows a significant decrease in financial indicators. In the first half of the year, its net profit costs $ 2.9 billion – half more than last year. Particularly noteworthy is the fall of sales, which has dropped from a significant $ 2.97 billion in the first half of 2022 to just $ 234 million.

The situation in the Khanty-Mansiysk district, one of the major regions of Russia’s oil, remains difficult. For the period from January to May, the total losses of local companies reached 8.8 billion dollars, while earnings from sales cost only $ 2.49 billion.

Factors for income collapse are associated with the decreased oil prices in the world, an increase in taxation and influence of international penalties. These factors have created serious challenges for the Russian energy industry, forcing the country’s authorities to look for ways to adapt to new economic facts.

Earlier it was reported that Russia’s revenue from oil sales in June 2025 fell to a two -a minimum against the back of the world’s oil prices.

Russia is also trying to influence the situation in the energy sector to cause a new circulation to grow in global oil prices.

Madonna’s opinion on the war in Gaza coincides with the positions of the governments of Canada, Japan, Australia, Great Britain and the European Union.

American Singing Madonna, through social networks, turned to the Pope of Roman Leo Xiv with an appeal to visit Gaza, which became the center of adventures during the Israeli army military operation. About this on Tuesday, August 12, written by the BBC publication.

According to the publication, the star said she could not observe the suffering of Palestinian children in a humanitarian situation. He suggests that visiting Pontiff “can bring hope to children, while still”, emphasizing that the leader of the Roman Catholic Church remains united in the world, which, in his opinion, will not reject access to the region.

Madonna’s opinion exaggerates the position of the governments of Canada, Japan, Australia, Great Britain and the European Union, which in their statements emphasized chronic humanitarian problems with gas. These countries encourage Israel to stop shelling and ensure the organization of human corridors for the delivery of food and medicine.

Remember, according to Axios, the Trump administration is also concerned about Israel’s final actions in Syria, especially avidars in Damascus. “Bibi is acting like a madman. He continues to bomb everything. It can destroy what Trump works,” one of the resources in the administration explains.

Pope Lev Xiv had earlier called for human laws in the region in his appeals and emphasized the need to protect the civilian population from collective penalties and improper use of military forces.

In the Russian Federation they expressed Putin’s conditions for a Truce – Media

Trump will receive Kremlin’s conditions because of the “complex position”, in which he drives himself, said the dictator’s advisor.

Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin offered to the United States about a “convenient way out of the situation,” which foreign policy advisor told Dmitry Suslov. As an official note, the Russian president expects two possible situations for developing events that will be discussed at the upcoming Summit in Alaska. On Tuesday, August 12, reported by Corriere Della Sera.

According to the publication, the first option provides for the adoption of a bilateral plan about a truce between Russia and the USA. According to the origin, it is important for the Kremlin that the agreement has reached exclusively between Moscow and Washington, without the participation of Kyiv or European allies.

It is assumed that the plan may include the removal of Ukrainian troops from the Donbass units they still control, as well as the removal of the Russian military from the sumy territories, DNIPROPETROVSK and Kharkov regions. At the same time, the front line in other conflict zones is suggested to be left without change.

It was noted that the previous Moscow was asserted to the complete removal of Ukrainian troops from all four occupied regions. However, now the requirements are narrowed to Donbass. Another major condition of the agreement should be a guarantee that Ukraine will not join NATO.

Suslov emphasized that Kyiv’s refusal from NATO is a “prerequisite and irreversible condition.” According to him, the final agreement shall provide for the demilitarization of Ukraine and the conduct of the Constitutional reform aimed at the country’s federalization.

The second scenario of events provides for the denial of Ukraine and European partners from such agreements. In response, Donald Trump will prevent all military assistance with Kyiv and even stop selling weapons in European countries to hinder its further transition to Ukraine.

“It will speed up the defeat of Ukraine and its complete collapse,” Suslov said.

The Kremlin counselor also expressed the opinion that Trump could take such a step because of the “complex situation” in which he drove himself away. In particular, the United States has given pressure to Brazil, India and China demanding to stop importing Russia’s oil, which threatens the second penalty. According to Suslov, concessions from Trump in this regard would be a manifestation of weakness or leading to a serious economic and political confrontation in China and other BRICS states.

“If the Summit in Alaska ends with success and the parties approve a joint a truce in Ukraine, then a potential conflict with China, India and Brazil is neutralized. In addition, Trump can relate it to himself as an achieved history,” sumlov.

Remember that US president Donald Trump said his meeting with Russian Federation leader Vladimir Putin was held on August 15 in Alaska. According to him, the possibility of exchange of territories is considered and the details of the agreement will be discussed in the coming days.

Earlier, Vladimir Zelensky emphasized that defense forces could not leave Donbass, because, according to his assessment, it would open the requirements for the third war and the future attack on zaporizhzhya, Dnipropetrovsk regions and Kharkov.
