Reuters reports on the statement from Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, revealing a tenfold reduction in Europe's intake of Russian oil.
Novak notes that Europe's portion of Russian oil exports has dwindled from 40-45% to 4-5%.
"The main partners in the current situation are China, whose share has grown to approximately 45-50%, and, of course, India," adds the Deputy Prime Minister.
In 2023, half of Russia's exported oil and oil products are expected to head to China. Simultaneously, India's share has risen to 40% in just two years, marking a significant increase in its importance as a market for Russian oil.
