Russia's problems do not end: oil exports from the Russian Federation have now fallen not only because of sanctions

In order to somehow compensate for the financial losses from EU restrictions, Moscow is trying to negotiate an increase in fuel supplies to Turkey, India and China. Due to international sanctions, raw oil supplies from Russia have fallen to the lowest level for 2022. A sharp decline has occurred for the last four weeks, that is, problems with the supply of "black gold" occurred in the Russian Federation at the end of last year.

And, besides the sanctions, the weather also influenced it, Bloomberg reports. For example, the port in Kozmino village in the Primorsky Territory was not used for about 11 days in the last month of 2022, and was closed for oil load due to a powerful storm. "Russian oil exports have decreased by about 117,000 barrels a day, up to 2. 615 million barrels," said economic analysts.

In Moscow, they are already trying to compensate for financial losses and offer Turkey, India and China to buy more oil from the aggressor country. At the same time, according to Bloomberg, if you take into account the restrictions on oil supply imposed on the Russian Federation that supply is reduced for the third time in the past month.

We will remind, on January 1 the EU Ambassador to Ukraine Matti Maasikas stated that according to the results of 2022 the European Union countries 90% reduced the supply of "black gold" from the Russian Federation. The diplomat added that Moscow can sell oil to other countries, but at low cost.
