ISW evaluates how the conflict in the Middle East will influence the war in Ukraine.

Analysts on the conflict in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine

Experts explained how disputes in the Middle East could aid Russia in the war with Ukraine. According to 'Hvylya', ISW published information on this.

Experts believe that a further escalation of the Iranian-Israeli conflict and increasing tensions in the Middle East could be advantageous for Russia in its fight against Ukraine. They emphasized that a rise in oil prices following Israel's attacks on Iran could increase Russia's revenue from oil sales and improve its capabilities to support military operations in Ukraine.

Enhanced Russian support in the conflict with Ukraine

As analysts noted earlier, tightened economic sanctions complicate Russia's ability to maintain prolonged military actions in Ukraine. At the same Time, the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, expressed concern about the drop in oil prices, as it could threaten the economy of Russia.

'Russia could leverage the sudden rise in oil prices to overcome economic difficulties and finance a prolonged war in Ukraine if the oil price remains high (for example, above $60 per barrel)'

We remind you that Israel has attacked Iran again.

Through tensions in the Middle East, Russia could utilize the rise in oil prices to support its actions in the military conflict with Ukraine. The tightening of economic sanctions complicates the situation for Russia, which is why it is seeking new ways to finance its operations.

--- Ukrainian analysts pointed out that the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East could have significant implications for the war between Russia and Ukraine. The rise in oil prices due to tensions in the region could provide Russia with additional opportunities to finance its military operations. The tightening of economic sanctions, which complicate the situation for Russia and force it to seek alternative funding sources, should also be taken into account.
