THE ARCHITECT BEHIND THE UNITED STATES SANCTION STRATEGY IS DALEEP SINGH, THE DEPUTY 141 00:15:51,617 --> 00:15:55,921 NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER FOR INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS AT THE WHITE HOUSE. WE FIRST INTERVIEWED HIM IN THE 142 00:15:55,988 --> 00:16:04,897 WEEKS AFTER THE 2022 INVASION, WHEN HE TOLD US HE EXPECTED A BARRAGE OF SANCTIONS TO BRING RUSSIA'S ECONOMY TO ITS KNEES. 143 00:16:04,963 --> 00:16:11,804 EARLIER THIS MONTH, WE WENT TO WASHINGTON TO ASK DALEEP SINGH ABOUT THOSE EARLY PREDICTIONS OF A NOSEDIVE, AND HE TOLD US 144 00:16:11,870 --> 00:16:20,245 SOMETHING WE DON'T HEAR VERY OFTEN ON "60 MINUTES." >> SO LET'S BE -- LET'S BE HONEST. 145 00:16:20,312 --> 00:16:24,850 THIS IS NOT THE NOSEDIVE THAT I PREDICTED TWO YEARS AGO. BUT, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY SHOULD MISTAKE RUSSIA'S REBOUND 146 00:16:24,917 --> 00:16:32,891 WITH RESILIENCE. ON THE SURFACE, RUSSIA'S ECONOMY MAY APPEAR TO BE A FORTRESS, BUT UNDERNEATH THE FOUNDATIONS ARE 147 00:16:32,958 --> 00:16:40,332 FRAGILE. >> Reporter: HOURS AFTER THE INVASION, THE U.S. BEGAN STRIKING THAT FOUNDATION. 148 00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:45,104 AT THE WHITE HOUSE, DALEEP SINGH ANNOUNCED THE ADMINISTRATION'S STRATEGY. >> TODAY WE IMPOSE AN 149 00:16:45,170 --> 00:16:53,045 UNPRECEDENTED PACKAGE OF FINANCIAL SANCTIONS AND EXPORT RESTRICTIONS. >> Reporter: WITHIN 72 HOURS THE 150 00:16:53,112 --> 00:17:01,053 U.S. AND ITS ALLIES, BLOCKED RUSSIA'S CENTRAL BANK FROM ACCESSING $300 BILLION IT STASHED AROUND THE WORLD, THEN 151 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:08,994 FROZE THE FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNTS OF DOZENS OF RUSSIAN BILLIONAIRES, LATER, SEIZING THEIR TROPHIES FOR GOOD MEASURE. 152 00:17:09,061 --> 00:17:18,470 SINCE THEN, 45 COUNTRIES HAVE DIRECTED OVER 5,000 SANCTIONS AT RUSSIAN TARGETS, EVERYTHING FROM DIAMONDS AND SEMICONDUCTORS TO 153 00:17:18,537 --> 00:17:24,910 VLADIMIR PUTIN HIMSELF. AND YET -- >> THE WAR IS STILL RAGING. THE RUSSIAN ECONOMY IS GROWING. 154 00:17:24,977 --> 00:17:31,617 IT LOOKS LIKE SANCTIONS HAVE BEEN A FAILURE. >> NO, NOT AT ALL. SO HE'S TURBOCHARGED GOVERNMENT 155 00:17:31,683 --> 00:17:36,221 SPENDING TO FUEL THE WAR MACHINE. HE'S FROZEN INFRASTRUCTURE AND EDUCATION SPENDING. 156 00:17:36,288 --> 00:17:46,899 AND, YES, THAT'S LIFTED GDP GROWTH, BUT THERE'S A COST. SKY-HIGH INFLATION, ALMOST 9%. NOSEBLEED INTEREST RATES, ALMOST 157 00:17:46,965 --> 00:17:52,204 19%. BOTH ARE CHOKING OFF GROWTH. >> Reporter: BUT THE SANCTIONS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CURB THE 158 00:17:52,271 --> 00:18:00,112 FLOW OF CASH FROM THE KREMLIN'S MOST VALUABLE ASSET. OIL. RUSSIA IS THE THIRD LARGEST 159 00:18:00,179 --> 00:18:09,755 PRODUCER IN THE WORLD, AND THIS YEAR, ITS OIL AND GAS REVENUES ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE 2.6% TO NEARLY $240 BILLION. 160 00:18:09,822 --> 00:18:16,995 WE WONDERED HOW, DESPITE ALL THOSE SANCTIONS, THE KREMLIN IS STILL MAKING SO MUCH MONEY FROM ITS OIL. 161 00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:24,036 WE FOUND THE ANSWER IN AN UNEXPECTED. 20 MILES OFF THE COAST OF GREECE. 162 00:18:24,102 --> 00:18:30,909 >> WE JUST DEPARTED ATHENS. >> Reporter: WE WENT THERE WITH SAMIR MADANI. MADANI RUNS A COMPANY FROM 163 00:18:30,976 --> 00:18:40,986 STOCKHOLM THAT TRACKS OIL TANKERS FOR DOZENS OF INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS, SUCH AS INSURANCE COMPANIES OR SHIPPERS. 164 00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:46,258 WHO WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHERE OIL IS MOVING IN CASE OF A SPILL OR ACCIDENT. BUT HE TOOK US TO SEE THIS OIL 165 00:18:46,325 --> 00:18:53,131 TANKER, CALLED THE SPRITE. ITS PART OF RUSSIA'S "DARK FLEET," ONE OF AN ESTIMATED 200 SHIPS THAT MOVE A MILLION 166 00:18:53,198 --> 00:19:04,776 BARRELS OF RUSSIAN OIL AROUND WESTERN SANCTIONS EVERY DAY. >> IT'S QUITE RARE TO SEE THIS VESSEL ACTUALLY PRESENTING ITS 167 00:19:04,843 --> 00:19:12,718 NAME AND IMO NUMBER AND EVERYTHING. >> Reporter: MADANI AND HIS TEAM MONITOR SATELLITE IMAGES, 168 00:19:12,784 --> 00:19:16,555 SIGNALS FROM SHIPS AND PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE GROUND TO TRACK TANKERS. HE TOLD US, ONE DAY, IN JANUARY 169 00:19:16,622 --> 00:19:23,362 2023, HE NOTICED SOMETHING SUSPICIOUS ON HIS DASHBOARD, A TANKER SENDING SIGNALS FROM A PORT IN JAPAN, A COUNTRY THAT 170 00:19:23,428 --> 00:19:29,668 DOESN'T EXPORT CRUDE OIL. >> THAT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE. SO I WAS ABLE TO REVIEW THAT WITH SATELLITE IMAGERY AND SAW 171 00:19:29,735 --> 00:19:37,576 THAT THERE WAS NO VESSEL AT THE PORT. INSTEAD, IT WAS A SPOOF WHERE IN FACT WE SAW THE VESSEL IN 172 00:19:37,643 --> 00:19:41,046 KOZMINO, IN RUSSIA. >> SO THEY'RE ABLE TO LIE ABOUT THEIR LOCATION. >> YES, IN REAL TIME. 173 00:19:41,113 --> 00:19:45,551 >> AND SO THAT ALLOWS THEM TO MOVE WHEREVER THEY WANT TO MOVE. >> ABSOLUTELY. >> UNDETECTED. 174 00:19:45,617 --> 00:19:49,788 AND THAT HAPPENED HOW QUICKLY AFTER THE SANCTIONS TOOK PLACE? >> IMMEDIATELY. IMMEDIATELY. 175 00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:55,894 >> WHEN YOU'RE SITTING ON AT YOUR DASHBOARD AND YOU'RE WATCHING ALL OF THIS, WHAT MAKES YOU KNOW THAT'S PART OF THE DARK 176 00:19:55,961 --> 00:20:06,805 FLEET? >> YEAH. THE OWNERSHIP, WILL CHANGE, THE VESSEL, AGE IS BEYOND 15 YEARS, 177 00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:10,976 THAT'S A RED FLAG. AND SO THESE VESSELS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SCRAPPED AND THEN SOMEBODY MAKES A BID IN THE LAST 178 00:20:11,043 --> 00:20:20,485 MINUTE WITH A -- WITH A MILLION DOLLARS AND GETS TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF THIS TANKER. >> Reporter: THE SPRITE IS ONE 179 00:20:20,552 --> 00:20:25,791 OF THOSE TANKERS, 21 YEARS OLD, IT WAS LAST PURCHASED IN FEBRUARY AND IS REGISTERED TO A SHELL COMPANY IN THE CARIBBEAN. 180 00:20:25,857 --> 00:20:41,039 SO WHAT WAS IT DOING FLOATING OFF THE COAST OF GREECE? >> RIGHT HERE DROPPING AS A DROPBOX. 181 00:20:41,106 --> 00:20:44,843 IF YOU CAN SEE ON HER STARBOARD SIDE OF THE RIGHT SIDE THERE YOU HAVE THE FOUR BUOYS. AND THAT MEANS THEY PLACED THOSE 182 00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:53,051 THERE FOR CONTACT WITH OTHER VESSELS. >> Reporter: OTHER DARK FLEET VESSELS THAT WILL TRANSFER OIL 183 00:20:53,118 --> 00:20:59,558 ONTO OR OFF OF THE SPRITE, MADANI SPOTTED ONE OF THEM, THE ZAMBRA, A MILE AWAY. THESE ARE IMAGES MADANI'S TEAM 184 00:20:59,625 --> 00:21:06,531 PROVIDED OF ZAMBRA MOVING OIL FROM RUSSIAN PORTS ON THE BLACK SEA THROUGH THE BOSPHORUS STRAIT IN TURKEY AND THEN TRANSFERRING 185 00:21:06,598 --> 00:21:12,337 IT ONTO THE SPRITE JUST OFF THE COAST OF GREECE. WE WERE THERE WITH YOU, WE'RE WATCHING YOU KNOW TRANSFER, 186 00:21:12,404 --> 00:21:19,177 TRANSFER, TRANSFER. WHAT WAS GOING ON THERE? >> THE TRANSFERS ARE AN ADDITIONAL LAYER OF OBFUSCATION 187 00:21:19,244 --> 00:21:25,017 WHEN IT COMES TO TRANSFERRING OIL. SO, WHEN YOU HAVE A "FLOATING DROPBOX" ACT LIKE THAT, YOU 188 00:21:25,083 --> 00:21:31,690 KNOW, WHERE IT'S ABLE TO TAKE IN ANY KIND OF OIL, AND THEN OUTPUT ANY OTHER KIND OF OIL, IT CONFUSES THINGS. 189 00:21:31,757 --> 00:21:38,263 >> Reporter: THE POINT OF THEIR TANKER SHELL GAME IS TO GET AROUND WESTERN SANCTIONS, SPECIFICALLY A PRICE CAP THAT 190 00:21:38,330 --> 00:21:50,409 WAS SUPPOSED TO LIMIT MOSCOW'S OIL PROFITS. IN 2022, THE G7, WHICH INCLUDES THE U.S., CANADA, JAPAN, AND 191 00:21:50,475 --> 00:21:54,646 FOUR EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, BANNED THE IMPORT OF RUSSIAN OIL. BUT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO RISK A GLOBAL PRICE SPIKE. 192 00:21:54,713 --> 00:22:03,188 SO, THEY ALLOWED RUSSIAN OIL TO CONTINUE TO FLOW INTERNATIONALLY BUT IMPOSED A $60 A BARREL PRICE CAP ON THE PURCHASE OF RUSSIAN 193 00:22:03,255 --> 00:22:09,528 CRUDE OIL. RUSSIA'S WORKAROUNDS ARE PAYING OFF. ALMOST ALL OF ITS CRUDE OIL IS 194 00:22:09,594 --> 00:22:18,103 SELLING ABOVE THE PRICE CAP, IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, RUSSIA'S DARK FLEET HAS MOVED AN ESTIMATED $45 BILLION WORTH OF 195 00:22:18,170 --> 00:22:30,182 CRUDE OIL. AND WHERE IS ALL OF THAT OIL GOING? >> YEAH, MOST OF THE OIL THAT 196 00:22:30,248 --> 00:22:34,419 DEPARTS RUSSIA BY SEA NOWADAYS IS GOING TO CHINA AND INDIA. >> Reporter: "60 MINUTES" ANALYZED FOUR YEARS OF DATA FROM 197 00:22:34,486 --> 00:22:40,792 INDIA'S MINISTRY OF COMMERCE. WE FOUND THE VALUE OF INDIA'S IMPORTS OF RUSSIAN CRUDE OIL INCREASED BY MORE THAN 2,000% 198 00:22:40,859 --> 00:22:49,201 SINCE THE INVASION OF UKRAINE. MUCH OF THAT CRUDE GOES TO AN INDIAN PORT CALLED SIKKA, WHERE IT IS REFINED INTO OTHER OIL 199 00:22:49,267 --> 00:22:57,209 PRODUCTS, SUCH AS GASOLINE. BUT THOSE PRODUCTS DON'T NECESSARILY STAY IN INDIA. SAM MADANI HELPED US TRACK A 200 00:22:57,275 --> 00:23:04,149 TANKER OF "REFINED PRODUCTS" FROM INDIA'S PORT, AROUND THE TIP OF AFRICA, ACROSS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN, AND ULTIMATELY 201 00:23:04,216 --> 00:23:15,794 HERE, TO NEW YORK. WE SAW THE SHIP COMING FROM INDIA INTO THE NEW YORK HARBOR. HOW OFTEN IS THAT HAPPENING? 202 00:23:15,861 --> 00:23:22,167 >> IT HAPPENS AROUND TWICE A MONTH, AND THEY BRING IN AROUND 500,000 BARRELS OF REFINED PRODUCT, FUEL. 203 00:23:22,234 --> 00:23:29,574 >> SO, IS THE RUSSIAN CRUDE OIL UNTRACEABLE? >> AFTER IT BECOMES REFINED IT'S UNTRACEABLE, YEAH. 204 00:23:29,641 --> 00:23:35,914 >> Reporter: THE U.S. TREASURY HAS SANCTIONED 38 RUSSIAN "DARK FLEET" TANKERS, BUT SAM MADANI SAYS HE'S IDENTIFIED 170 OTHERS 205 00:23:35,981 --> 00:23:41,186 THAT ARE STILL ACTIVE, MOVING RUSSIAN OIL. THEY'RE NOT DOING IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. 206 00:23:41,253 --> 00:23:45,957 THEY'RE DOING IT IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. HOW DO YOU STOP THAT? >> FIRST, IDENTIFY THEM. 207 00:23:46,024 --> 00:23:52,430 SECOND, LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY'RE SUBJECT TO OUR SANCTIONS. AND THEN, THREE, DELIVER THOSE 208 00:23:52,497 --> 00:23:57,636 SANCTIONS. ANY PLAYER IN RUSSIA'S SHADOW FLEET NETWORK WOULD BE SUBJECT TO OUR SANCTIONS. 209 00:23:57,702 --> 00:24:07,512 >> WHY NOT DO IT RIGHT NOW? >> WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO BALANCE RIGHT NOW IS, IS TO CONTINUE TO MOVE THE GLOBAL OIL MARKET INTO 210 00:24:07,579 --> 00:24:15,153 BALANCE, TO CONTINUE TO HAVE -- A DOWNWARD MOVEMENT IN THE LEVEL OF INFLATION ACROSS THE WORLD, AND TO SUSTAIN UNITY. 211 00:24:15,220 --> 00:24:20,992 WE CAN'T SANCTION RUSSIA'S SHADOW FLEET BY OURSELVES. SO THERE'S A DIPLOMATIC COMPONENT TO THIS, TOO. 212 00:24:21,059 --> 00:24:28,366 THIS IS ABOUT STAMINA MORE SO THAN IT'S ABOUT SHOCK AND AWE. >> Reporter: THERE'S ANOTHER MARKET THE U.S. IS TRYING TO 213 00:24:28,433 --> 00:24:36,875 KEEP IN BALANCE -- AMERICAN NUCLEAR ENERGY. THE U.S. IS STILL PAYING RUSSIA $1 BILLION A YEAR FOR ENRICHED 214 00:24:36,942 --> 00:24:50,121 URANIUM TO HELP FUEL 94 NUCLEAR REACTORS THAT PROVIDE ABOUT A FIFTH OF AMERICA'S ENERGY NEEDS. IN MAY, CONGRESS TOOK NOTICE AN 215 00:24:50,188 --> 00:24:54,893 AND BANNED THE IMPORT OF RUSSIAN ENRICHED URANIUM. BUT THE BAN WON'T GO INTO FULL EFFECT FOR FOUR YEARS. 216 00:24:54,960 --> 00:25:05,003 DOES THE U.S. HAVE THE CAPACITY RIGHT NOW THAT IT NEEDS FOR ENRICHED URANIUM? >> NO, SO, UNFORTUNATELY, ABOUT 217 00:25:05,070 --> 00:25:10,275 25% OF IT TO 30% HAS BEEN IMPORTED FROM RUSSIA. >> WE DON'T HAVE IT. >> RIGHT. 218 00:25:10,342 --> 00:25:18,783 WE -- WE ARE DEPENDENT. >> Reporter: THAT'S BECAUSE THE UNITED STATES STOPPED MAKING ENRICHARD URANIUM A DECADE AGO. 219 00:25:18,850 --> 00:25:26,157 AMIR VEXLER RUNS CENTRUS ENERGY. LAST YEAR, CENTRUS BEGAN ENRICHING URANIUM INSIDE THIS PIKETON, OHIO, FACILITY. 220 00:25:26,224 --> 00:25:39,371 THE ONLY AMERICAN COMPANY WITH THAT CAPACITY. VEXLER SHOWED US HOW IT'S DONE, THOSE 40-FOOT-TALL CENTRIFUGES 221 00:25:39,437 --> 00:25:52,951 SPIN URANIUM GAS UNTIL IT'S ENRICHARD AND USED FOR GAS. THOSE SQUARES ON THE GROUND THOSE ARE PLACEHOLDERS FOR 222 00:25:53,018 --> 00:26:04,763 11,000 MORE CENTRIFUGES CENTRUS WANTS TO BUILD. AND HOW LONG IN THE BEST-CASE SCENARIO WOULD IT TAKE TO GET 223 00:26:04,829 --> 00:26:09,534 THOSE UP AND RUNNING? >> IT WILL TAKE ABOUT SIX TO SEVEN YEARS TO GET TO FULL CAPACITY. 224 00:26:09,601 --> 00:26:14,272 >> AND TO NOT BE RELIANT ON RUSSIA. >> THAT'S CORRECT. >> Reporter: IN RUSSIA, 225 00:26:14,339 --> 00:26:19,644 BUSINESSES QUICKLY PIVOTED. WHEN WESTERN COMPANIES LEFT THE COUNTRY AT THE START OF THE WAR, RUSSIAN VERSIONS REPLACED THEM. 226 00:26:19,711 --> 00:26:25,450 STARBUCKS WITH STARS COFFEE. ZARA WITH MAAG. COCA-COLA, DOBRY COLA. EVEN AUTHENTIC WESTERN PRODUCTS, 227 00:26:25,517 --> 00:26:29,087 SUCH AS THE LATEST iPHONES ARE STILL GETTING INTO THE HANDS OF RUSSIANS. WHEN WE FIRST STARTED HEARING 228 00:26:29,154 --> 00:26:34,893 ABOUT SANCTIONS AGAINST RUSSIA, WE ANTICIPATED SEEING, YOU KNOW, BREAD LINES IN MOSCOW? HAS THAT HAPPENED? 229 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:42,334 >> IN A WORD, NO. THE MOST GOODS THAT RUSSIANS WOULD HAVE ACCESSED BEFORE THE WAR ARE AVAILABLE NOW. 230 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:49,441 >> Reporter: RICHARD CONNOLLY IS AN ASSOCIATE FELLOW AT THE ROYAL UNITED SERVICES INSTITUTE IN LONDON AND A SPECIALIST ON THE 231 00:26:49,507 --> 00:26:58,216 RUSSIAN ECONOMY. >> SANCTIONS PROHIBIT THE SALE OF WESTERN CARS TO RUSSIA, MERCEDES OR CHRYSLERS, BUT A LOT 232 00:26:58,283 --> 00:27:04,155 OF THEM ARE STILL MAKING THEIR WAY TO RUSSIA VIA THIRD PARTIES, LIKE, GEORGIA AND THE SOUTH CAUCASUS, OR KAZAKHSTAN, OR 233 00:27:04,222 --> 00:27:09,928 CHINA. NOW, OF COURSE, IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SEND AN AMERICAN OR GERMAN CAR ON THIS ROUNDABOUT 234 00:27:09,995 --> 00:27:15,200 ROUTE TO REACH RUSSIA, THE PRICE OF THAT CAR WHEN IT'S SOLD IS MUCH HIGHER THAN IT WAS BEFORE THE WAR. 235 00:27:15,266 --> 00:27:19,437 BUT A LOT OF RUSSIANS WITH A LOT OF MONEY IN THEIR POCKET WHO ARE PREPARED TO PAY THAT HIGHER PRICE. 236 00:27:19,504 --> 00:27:27,912 THERE'S AN INCENTIVE FOR LOTS OF RUSSIAN SMALL BUSINESSES TO ACQUIRE GOODS ON FOREIGN MARKETS FROM SANCTIONING COUNTRIES, 237 00:27:27,979 --> 00:27:32,150 BRING THEM BACK TO RUSSIA AND SELL THEM AT A VERY HEALTHY MARKUP. >> SO EVADING SANCTIONS HAS 238 00:27:32,217 --> 00:27:37,422 BECOME GOOD BUSINESS IN RUSSIA. >> IT'S BECOME A BUSINESS, SECTOR OF ITS OWN IN RUSSIA, YES. 239 00:27:37,489 --> 00:27:41,693 >> WHAT KIND OF BUSINESSES ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? >> SOME PEOPLE ARE SELLING GOODS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY SANCTIONED. 240 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:49,501 THEY'RE PRODUCING THEM AT HOME. THE NUMBER OF SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED BUSINESSES REGISTERED IN RUSSIA IS AT AN 241 00:27:49,567 --> 00:27:55,306 ALL-TIME HIGH. BEFORE THE WAR RUSSIA HAD A BIG PROBLEM, IT WASN'T INVESTING ENOUGH. 242 00:27:55,373 --> 00:28:01,146 BUT SINCE THE WAR BEGAN THE SINGLE BIGGEST SOURCE OF INVESTMENT IS IN TRADE AND LOGISTICS. 243 00:28:01,212 --> 00:28:04,215 >> IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE, FROM AN ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE, THAT THE WAR'S THE BEST THING THAT'S HAPPENED TO RUSSIA. 244 00:28:04,282 --> 00:28:10,188 >> IT CERTAINLY CHANGED THE ECONOMIC TRAJECTORY. THIS IS THE FASTEST ITS GROWN FOR A CONSECUTIVE PERIOD IN OVER 245 00:28:10,255 --> 00:28:22,801 A DECADE AND A HALF. WHETHER THEY CAN SUSTAIN THAT OVER TIME IS, OF COURSE, THE BIG QUESTION. 246 00:28:22,867 --> 00:28:27,372 IT'S POSSIBLE THAT MAY CONFOUND EXPECT 247 00:28:28,406 --> 00:28:39,417 [ STOPWATCH TICKING ] >>> THE SPOT WHERE THE COLUMBIA RIVER SPILLS INTO THE PACIFIC OCEAN AT THE BORDER BETWEEN 248 00:28:39,484 --> 00:28:45,824 OREGON AND WASHINGTON STATE IS WHERE LEWIS AND CLARK ENDED THEIR JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY IN 1805, WITH CLARK WRITING IN HIS 249 00:28:45,890 --> 00:28:52,564 JOURNAL, "OCEAN IN VIEW!
