Since the beginning of the war, Russia has sold energy for $ 98 billion

In the first 100 days of invasion of Ukraine, Russia earned $ 98 billion in the export of fuel. The main buyer is the European Union. This is written by the Center for the Study of Energy and Clean Air (Crea).

The EU came 61% of Russian energy exports, which amounted to $ 60 billion. The main consumer countries are Germany (over 12 billion) and Italy (over 7 billion). The main importer of Russian oil and gas outside the European Union is China (12.6 billion).

The CREA report says that the export volumes of Russian energy carriers decreased in May by 15% compared to pre -war indicators, but an increase in demand for fossil fuel brought Russia an “unexpected profit”: the export value of Russian energy carriers is 60% higher than last year.

• On February 24, the Russian army entered the territory of Ukraine. This happened immediately after Vladimir Putin announced that he had decided to start the “special operation” in the Donbass after the request of the so -called “DPR” and “LPR”. Many countries and large international companies have imposed sanctions against Moscow, turning around the programs of cooperation with Russia.
• In early June, the European Union agreed on an almost complete rejection of the import of Russian oil and a decrease in the consumption of Russian gas by two -thirds until the end of 2022. The only country that opens sharply against the abandonment of Russian fossil fuel was Hungary. The country's leadership has repeatedly stated that the abandonment of gas and oil from Russia would destroy the Hungarian economy and lead the country to a tough crisis.
