The West has just hit Russia with new sanctions — targeting Lukoil and Rosneft, two of its largest energy giants — while the EU rolled out its 19th sanctions package. Many in Washington and Brussels are celebrating, believing this time the Russian economy will finally collapse.

But at the 8th Russian Energy Week in Moscow, Russia sent a different message: it’s not retreating — it’s reshaping the global energy order.

In this video, we break down why the Russian economy isn’t just surviving sanctions—it’s adapting and thriving. From Putin’s vision of a “fair and sustainable global energy model” to Russia’s strategic pivot toward Asia and the Global South, we explore how Moscow is transforming its energy diplomacy.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
🔹 Why sanctions have failed to cripple Russia’s energy sector
🔹 How the EU’s energy strategy backfired, hurting European industry
🔹 Why India and China are deepening energy ties with Russia
🔹 How Russia is investing $125 billion annually into modernization and innovation
🔹 The emergence of a multipolar energy world

As the U.S. pressures India and China to stop buying Russian oil, the world’s energy map is being redrawn — and Russia is right at its center.
