The news article which would be sought to be explicated this week appeared in the New York Times, named, “Behind the Russia-Saudi Breakup, Calculations and Miscalculations”, by Andrew Higgins and Andrew E. Kramer. The authors asserted that the agreement between Russia and Saudi Arabia has largely been a “marriage of convenience” and when they seemed to part ways, it did send the “market reeling”. The oil war is being waged against the backdrop of falling oil prices and Russia blaming Saudi Arabia for the collapse of the ruble. Saudi Aramco, not only sought to increase its production by 26% but also pledged to offer “steep discounts for April deliveries to customers in Europe, a direct strike against one of Russia’s primary markets” (Higgins & Kramer, 2020).
