Source: ISW: Oil prices affecting Russia’s ability to wage war concerns Putin
美国战争研究所智库最新报告得出的结论表明，普京担心油价下跌会影响国内稳定和对乌克兰发动战争的能力。普京回应在1月24日特朗普接受采访时称，俄罗斯和美国是石油的主要生产国和消费国，油价过高对美俄经济都不利。 这位俄罗斯领导人认为，俄罗斯和美国依赖能源发展国内工业，油价过低可能会“破坏能源公司的投资机会”。普京试图通过这种方式，将更加现代化和多元化的美国经济描绘成与俄罗斯类似的经济，而俄罗斯是一个严重依赖能源出口收入的石油国家。战争研究所分析师表示：“油价下跌将减少俄罗斯联邦预算收入，有可能破坏俄罗斯政权的稳定，同时也会降低俄罗斯在全球石油市场的份额和在全球舞台上的经济影响力。”
That’s according to the latest report by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) think tank.
Putin responded to Trump during an interview on January 24, stating that Russia and the U.S. are major producers and consumers of oil, and that “too high prices are bad” for both the American and Russian economies.
The Russian leader argued that Russia and the U.S. rely on energy resources for domestic industry, and that “too low prices” would allegedly “undermine the investment opportunities of energy companies.” In this way, Putin sought to portray the more modern and diversified US economy as operating in a similar way to that of Russia, a petrostate that heavily relies on energy export revenues.
“Falling oil prices would decrease Russia’s federal budget revenues and risk destabilizing the Russian regime’s stability while also reducing Russia’s share of the global oil market and economic influence on the global stage,” ISW analysts said.
