They're geared to handle tactical missiles, ballistic missiles perhaps in some places, not drones.
And I think what Russia is facing now is exactly what...
Ukraine and Europe is facing.
So, I mean, militarily obviously depends on a huge amount of money coming into the country as well.
That's a very important aspect of this.
Ukraine is still dependent on the West for that.
But whenever we're looking at their own ability to produce and launch by themselves, we've seen a huge increase in their capabilities.
And what's most important about this is that we're no longer dealing with big, expensive missiles that they want from the West.
They're creating hundreds of thousands of very small and cheap-to-make drones.
And that's what's really important here.
Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said in a post on X that the sanctions exemption is a narrowly tailored short-term measure.
And he says that it shouldn't provide a lot of economic benefit to Russia in the long term.
This certainly shows us that the priority in Washington is to make sure that there's enough oil on the market to keep prices low.
And that's more important, I think, to Washington right now than preventing Russia from gaining additional revenues that are feeding its war right now in Ukraine.
But with that in mind, of course, there is a whole universe of sanctions on Russia and Russian oil.
And that goes from the banks to the companies involved to the people as well.
And those aren't being lifted.
But of course, if the war drags on, prices continue to rise, we have to look at those as well and see if those could be lifted too.
The growing number of strikes between Iran and all of its neighbors, including Israel and the U.S., have increasingly taken on a new target in this war, which is critical infrastructure.
This weekend, we really saw an uptick in attacks on critical infrastructure in the Gulf.
