As to what is my take.
Russia will sell it's oil to other buyers. As for the rest of us. This move will dislocate markets and will probably result in a spike in oil prices. What may save us from a prolonged price increase is a recession. All the signs are there for a major global recession in 2023, and that will definitely bring down the price of oil.
