How are sanctioned Russian oil tankers circumventing the EU and UK sanctions, and what are the consequences?

Despite the sanctions, Russia continues to profit from oil sales. Sanctioned oil is offloaded in various countries, including China and India, where it's either directly unloaded or transferred to non-sanctioned tankers. This allows the flow of funds to Russia's war effort, undermining the effectiveness of the sanctions.

What are the tangible economic benefits of Belarus's increased engagement with countries in the Global South, and how does this engagement affect its overall economic situation?

Belarus's attempts to diversify its foreign policy away from the West towards countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America have yielded minimal economic benefits, according to political analysts. Trade with countries like Zimbabwe and Guinea-Bissau remains insignificant, while even potentially promising partnerships, such as with Vietnam, are hampered by Belarus's current economic structure and lack of market freedom. The primary outcome of this shift appears to be a public relations campaign, rather than substantial economic gains.
