Western sanctions deprived Russia\u2019s state budget of\u00a0tens of\u00a0billions of\u00a0dollars in\u00a02025, a\u00a0loss that represents the main tangible outcome of\u00a0the restrictions, Ukraine\u2019s sanctions policy chief said.<\/p>\n

Vladyslav Vlasiuk, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy\u2019s commissioner for sanctions policy, said the decline in\u00a0revenues was driven exclusively by\u00a0Western measures, according<\/a> to\u00a0comments aired on\u00a0Ukraine\u2019s national telethon and cited by\u00a0RBC-Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u00a0see a\u00a0reduction in\u00a0absolutely real revenues to\u00a0Russia\u2019s budget by\u00a0tens of\u00a0billions of\u00a0dollars this year solely due to\u00a0sanctions,\u201d Vlasiuk said. \u201cThis is\u00a0probably the main major result of\u00a0the sanctions restrictions. Of\u00a0course, we\u00a0would like it\u00a0to\u00a0happen faster and to\u00a0be\u00a0larger, but the result that exists is\u00a0also worthy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Are Sanctions Working? Russia\u2019s Oil Revenue Collapse Says It All<\/a><\/p>\n

\n Dec 17, 2025 19:34\n <\/p>\n

Vlasiuk noted that Russia\u2019s income from oil and gas exports continues to\u00a0fall. In\u00a0the first quarter of\u00a0the year, Russia earned more than $40 billion from oil exports, he\u00a0said, while revenues in\u00a0the fourth quarter are likely to\u00a0drop to\u00a0no\u00a0more than $26\u201327 billion.<\/p>\n

He\u00a0also described a\u00a0Ukrainian strike on\u00a0a\u00a0Russian plant producing synthetic rubber as\u00a0\u201ca\u00a0good form of\u00a0sanctions,\u201d suggesting that military pressure complements economic restrictions.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Vlasiuk, Russia\u2019s defense-industrial enterprises remain under sanctions as\u00a0well, and the overall effect comes from a\u00a0combination of\u00a0different measures.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u00a0also see broader macroeconomic indicators in\u00a0the Russian Federation,\u201d he\u00a0added. \u201cThe budget deficit is\u00a0around $100 billion. They will have to\u00a0find a\u00a0way to\u00a0cover this deficit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Previously, it\u00a0was reported<\/a> that Russian crude oil prices have fallen to\u00a0their lowest levels since the start of\u00a0the full-scale invasion of\u00a0Ukraine, as\u00a0Western sanctions and a\u00a0global decline in\u00a0benchmarks drive deeper discounts.<\/p>\n
