The Russia–Ukraine War and Its Impact on Global Trade in Minerals and Petroleum (2022–2027): A Hybrid Research–Case Analysis
Case Study & Research Paper The Russia–Ukraine War and Its Impact on Global Trade in Minerals and Petroleum (2022–2027): A Hybrid Research–Case Analysis Abstract The Russia–Ukraine war triggered an unprecedented geopolitical shock that reconfigured global trade in critical minerals and petroleum between 2022 and 2027.

Findings show that sanctions-driven export instability, control of Ukrainian mineral reserves, and redirected Russian oil flows significantly disrupted global markets. Petroleum and mineral supply chains experien...
