The False Rescue: How the Iran War Changes the Reality in Russia and Ukraine

from What World Leaders NEED to Know about Russia · host Elvira Bary

At first glance, war in Iran seems like good news for Moscow: oil prices rise, the world looks away from Ukraine, and Russian propaganda gets fresh anti-Western material. But in this episode, Elvira Bary shows why that first impression is misleading. Higher prices do not help much if export infrastructure is damaged, extra revenue does not improve normal life for Russians, and a crisis inside Iran weakens one of Russia’s most important military and political partners. What looks like a rescue may actually be a trap.JOIN ME ON THE JOURNEY👉 Buy Me A Coffee: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/elvirabary⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 Donate with PayPal: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=CSAQ25WWN979A⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 My books on Amazon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/465Co4Q⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 Sign-up for news about the New Book here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://elvirabary.com/elvira-barys-newsletter/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Elvira Bary YouTube Channel (115K Subs): https://www.youtube.com/@elvirabaryJOIN ME ON THE JOURNEY👉 Sign-up for news about the New Book here: https://elvirabary.com/elvira-barys-newsletter/Buy Me A Coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/elvirabaryDonate with PayPal - https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=CSAQ25WWN979A
