Impact of U.S. Sanctions: Russia will take time to adapt to new U.S. sanctions, but it may find ways to maintain energy exports similar to Iran.
Oil Price Fluctuation: Brent crude prices increased by approximately $5 to $66 a barrel following sanctions on Russian oil producers Rosneft and Lukoil.
Supply Disruption: The sanctions are expected to disrupt oil supply to major customers of Russia, particularly China and India.
Long-term Price Effects: Despite the immediate price increase, the long-term impact on oil prices may be minimal.
