Ukraine drone attacks, thick ice slowed Russian oil exports before sanctions easing

Russian oil supplies through the Druzhba pipeline via Ukraine to Hungary and Slovakia remain halted following what Kyiv said was an attack by Moscow on the pipeline on January 27.

According to ship-tracking data from LSEG, Russia's total oil exports on March 1-12 declined by 14 per cent from the same period last month to 3.6 million barrels per day.

Exports from Russia's Far East, however, increased by around a quarter for the period to around 770,000 bpd, the data showed.
