Information regarding current Russian losses due to sanctions as of 13.06.2026.
1. Ukrainian Defense Forces have struck one of the largest oil terminals in southern Russia.
– On the night of June 13, Ukrainian Defense Forces attacked the infrastructure of the Temryuk seaport in the Krasnodar region. Fires broke out on the territory of the port complex after the attack.
– According to available information, one of the strikes hit the liquefied hydrocarbon gas terminal of the Tamanneftegaz company — one of the largest transshipment complexes of this type in southern Russia. The facility is used for the storage and transshipment of propane, butane, and other oil and gas products. A fire was recorded at the terminal.
– Another fire occurred in the area of the storage infrastructure and the parking lot for freight transport. The scale of the damage is being clarified. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed the strike on the oil loading wharf of the Tamanneftegaz terminal. An oil loading stand — a key element of the infrastructure used for loading oil products onto sea vessels — was damaged.
– In addition, the General Staff reported strikes on several other enemy military targets. In May, for instance, the patrol ship “Pytlivy” and a missile hovercraft were hit in the area of the naval base in Novorossiysk.
– Ammunition depots in the temporarily occupied Crimea and Luhansk region were also attacked.
2. The war consumes almost half of the budget: Russia’s military spending has reached a record 65 billion rubles per day.
– Russia’s spending on the war against Ukraine continues to rise sharply, setting new historical records. In the first quarter of 2026, 5.9 trillion rubles were directed towards the army, weapons, and military production — the largest amount for the entire period of the full-scale war.
– Compared to the same period last year, military spending increased by almost 30%, and since early 2022 — by 4.6 times. As a result, the share of military expenditures in the federal budget reached a record 46%.
– On average, Russia’s military machine was spending about 2.7 billion rubles per hour or 65 billion rubles per day. This is comparable to the annual budgets of some Russian regions.
– Particularly notable is the sharp increase in classified budget items. By the end of the quarter, their volume increased to 4.9 trillion rubles, and the share of classified expenses exceeded 38% of all federal expenditures. This indicates increasing opacity in war financing and the concealment of the real scale of military spending.
– Overall, since 2022, the war has already cost Russian taxpayers over 53 trillion rubles. This amount is equivalent to decades of funding for healthcare and education systems.
3. Economists from Germany and Sweden have declared Russia’s economy to be in a “terminal stage.”
– The Russian economy is approaching a critical threshold due to the depletion of financial reserves, increasing budget issues, and growing dependence on China. This conclusion was reached by economists from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy and the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics.
– The report notes that the liquid assets of Russia’s National Welfare Fund have decreased from 6.5% of GDP at the start of the full-scale war against Ukraine to just 1.8% of GDP in April 2026. At the same time, the federal budget deficit for the first quarter has already exceeded the planned figure for the entire year, indicating a deterioration in the Kremlin’s financial position.
– An additional blow to Russian finances has been the fall in oil and gas revenues. In the first quarter of 2026, they decreased by 45% compared to the same period last year. According to the study’s authors, even a possible short-term increase in oil prices due to the conflict in the Middle East cannot solve the accumulated structural problems.
– The dependence on China is also increasing. Currently, Beijing accounts for about 35% of Russia’s foreign trade, and Chinese companies remain one of the key sources of components needed for the production and repair of weapons. This dependence weakens Moscow’s position and makes it more vulnerable both economically and politically.
– Western countries have the opportunity to increase pressure on the Russian economy by stricter control of the oil price cap compliance, countering the “shadow fleet,” and tightening export restrictions, particularly on supplies through Chinese channels.
– Accumulated imbalances, depletion of reserves, and growing dependence on external support indicate a significant weakening of Russia’s economic resilience in the fourth year of the full-scale war against Ukraine.
4. Steel production in Russia has fallen to its lowest level in 15 years.
– Russia’s metallurgy industry is facing a downturn due to sanctions, weak domestic demand, high rates, and a general slowdown in the economy. In 2025, steel production fell to 67 million tons (−12% compared to 2021), and in the first quarter of 2026, it decreased by another 10.4%, to 15.6 million tons.
– The biggest declines were seen in key consumers—construction, engineering, oil and gas, and transport industries. Domestic consumption decreased by 14% in 2025 and another 15% in the first quarter of 2026.
– Additionally, markets in the EU, USA, UK, Canada, and Japan are effectively closed to exports. Financial results are deteriorating: major producers are recording losses, reducing investments, and capacity utilization. The industry risks entering a prolonged crisis without significant state support.
5. Russia is facing a jet fuel shortage following the gasoline market crisis.
– The fuel crisis in Russia is spreading to new areas. Following a shortage of gasoline, which has already affected more than 20 regions of the country, problems have also arisen with the supply of aviation fuel. Several major Russian airports have introduced restrictions on refueling aircraft. Airlines are being allowed only the minimum necessary amount of fuel for flights.
– The issues began to intensify at the end of May following a series of Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries. In just one month, 16 refineries were attacked, significantly reducing oil processing volumes and fuel production.
– According to Russian sources, at the end of May, fuel operators began informing airlines about the inability to fulfill aviation kerosene supply contracts at airports in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Ufa, and several other cities.
– The market situation became so tense that exchange trading in aviation kerosene practically stopped. Wholesale prices rose to a record 113,000 rubles per ton, which is 52% more than at the beginning of March. According to market participants, the fuel supply practically disappeared, and on certain days, only a few wagons of aviation kerosene were sold across the country.
– Amid the threat of a shortage, the Russian government was forced to prohibit the export of aviation fuel until the end of November 2026 to keep the remaining resources on the domestic market.
6. Wage arrears in Russia have risen to the highest level since 2019.
– The overdue wage arrears of Russian companies in April 2026 amounted to 2.88 billion rubles ($41 million). This approached the figures of December 2019, when the arrears were 2.9 billion rubles. The amount of arrears increased by 750.3 million rubles (35%) ($10.6 million) compared to March. Compared to the same period in 2025, the increase was 1.4 billion rubles (+94.3%) ($20 million).
– The key factor in the arrears is the lack of funds. This accounts for two-thirds of the overdue wages – 2.092 billion rubles ($30 million) were unpaid due to this reason.
– The second reason is the untimely receipt of money from the budget, which caused the non-payment of 787.6 million rubles ($11.12 million). Compared to March 2025, this amount increased 62 times.
– More than half of these debts (55.1%) were formed in 2026. In 2025, it was 34.2%, and in 2024 and earlier – another 10.7%.
