Bulgaria’s election: a boon for Moscow, but Radev is no Orbán

Moscow may welcome Rumen Radev’s victory in Bulgaria, especially after Viktor Orbán’s defeat in Hungary.

Radev has opposed military aid to Ukraine and long cultivated a more accommodating line towards Moscow than most EU leaders.

In that sense, his victory may look like a compensatory gain for the Kremlin.

Ukraine torches Putin’s Iran war windfall, as EU allies sweat over high energy prices

For all the talk of crude benchmarks and market panic, wars are not financed by headline prices. They are financed by realised revenue.

Russia benefits from higher oil prices only if it can still refine, store, ship and sell enough oil to market. Ukraine’s strategy is increasingly aimed at breaking that link.

That is why Russia’s decision to expand its gasoline export ban on 2 April matters.
