The Russian Federation adapts to sanctions: the income of the aggressor from oil exports in May increased - the media
7 billion rubles (approximately $ 9 billion). The material states that the increase in income was followed by an increase in oil prices for Urals. It is a key export oil of Russia, the sale of which helps to finance the war against Ukraine. The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation has calculated May taxes based on the price of Urals oil at $ 74. 98 per barrel compared to $ 58. 63.
The discount to the world standard Brent has decreased even against the background of the price limit introduced by the G7 countries. The publication writes that Moscow has adapted to the restrictions introduced by the international community. It uses a huge shadow fleet of tankers to sell oil to customers in Asia. Moreover, as it is in the material, the May oil income of Russia could be higher if they were not reduced by subsidies to domestic fuel producers.
Thus, the Government of the Russian Federation paid to companies almost 202 billion rubles for internal deliveries of diesel fuel and gasoline. Earlier, the media reported that the US is ready to give Kiev a loan of $ 50 billion at the expense of profit from the assets of the Russian Federation. If the EU extends sanctions against Russia for an indefinite time, Washington is ready to provide Ukraine with financial support.
