Questions

Is Niue helping Russia?

In money terms the net is −0.67% of one year's GDP (likely 0.30% to 1.6% toward Russia; very likely · >99%). Chance toward Russia: >99%; 100% of the other method choices agree. Russia kept <€1m (0.67% of GDP) more than without the war, mostly Russian crude in fuel bought from refiners elsewhere (<€1m of <€1m). Most of this is fuel and food bought from Russia. Fuel is fungible and sold through many traders: the figure reflects what this economy bought, not a policy toward Russia or Ukraine. The number counts money: weapons at their money value; votes, diplomacy and intent are not in it.
