🌍 🛢🇷🇺 Of the 51,000 ships transporting today cargo around the world, more than 1,400 have defected from the legal side of shipping to its dark side, serving shady Russian shipping. The vast majority of these are oil tankers.
🇨🇳🇮🇳🇹🇷🇪🇬🇦🇪 Russia’s shadow fleet only exists because of countries willing to buy sanctioned Russian oil — that is, Russian oil above the price cap Western countries have imposed. Leading this group are #China, #India, #Turkey, #Egypt and the #UAE, countries that well not care about Western sanctions — or even about Ukraine.

🌍 🛢🇷🇺 Из 51 000 судов, которые сегодня перевозят грузы по всему миру, более 1400 перешли с легальной стороны судоходства на темную сторону, обслуживая теневые российские перевозки. Подавляющее большинство из них — нефтяные танкеры.
🇨🇳🇮🇳🇹🇷🇪🇬🇦🇪 Теневой флот России существует благодаря странам, покупающим подсанкционную российскую нефть. Лидеры этой группы покупателей — #Китай, #Индия, #Турция, #Египет и #ОАЭ, — страны, которым нет дела как до западных санкций, так и до Украины.

🇨🇳 #China is cutting oil refining and is going to reduce its exports
According to Rystad Energy, oil refining in China will decrease from 15 million bpd in the third quarter to 14.7 million bpd.
According to Vortexa, refining will decrease by 5% by the end of the year.
📌The reduction in refining will lead to a decrease in crude oil imports.
According to Rystad forecasts, imports will amount to 10.66 million barrels per day in Q4 2024, and 10.64 million barrels per day in Q1 2025, compared to 11 million barrels per day in the first 9 months of 2024.

❗️In turn, India and Iran, on the contrary, are increasing oil production and increasing its refining.

🇮🇳 #India processes 250 million tons of black gold and is already in the process of increasing volumes to 300 million.
For the future, the potential of Indian processing up to 450 million tons is being discussed, said Indian Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Shri Hardeep Singh Puri at the ADIPEC conference.
At the moment, India covers 40% of its needs with imports from Russia.

🇮🇷 #Iran urgently increases oil production by 250 thousand bpd
Iran currently produces 3.2 million bpd, accounting for 3% of global production.

⚡️🇺🇸 The Kremlin is cherishing hopes that tensions in Russia-US relations will ease after Donald Trump returns to the White House. But his first security and foreign policy appointments likely point to a tougher stance on Russia, — Politico
🇨🇳🇷🇺🇮🇷 Trump's incoming State Secretary Marco Rubio and his National Security Adviser Mike Waltz have hewed to the Trump-era America First foreign policy doctrine but are still ardent hawks when it comes to the U.S. approach to adversaries like #China, #Iran and #Russia — far from the isolationist wing of the Republican party that would seek to abandon Ukraine or NATO.

⚡️🇺🇸 В Кремле лелеют надежды на ослабление напряженности в отношениях России и США после возвращения в Белый дом Дональда Трампа. Но его первые назначения в сфере безопасности и международных отношений говорят скорее об ужесточения позиций по отношению к России, — Politico
🇨🇳🇷🇺🇮🇷 Будущий Госсекретарь в администрации Трампа Марк Рубио и его советник по национальной безопасности Майк Уолтц придерживаются провозглашенной Трампом концепции «Америка прежде всего», но при этом являются ярыми «ястребами» по отношению к таким противникам США, как #Китай, #Иран и #Россия; они далеки от изоляционистского крыла Республиканской партии, которое выступает за прекращение помощи Украине и даже за возможный выход США из НАТО

🇺🇦🛢🇷🇺 Russia's Fuel Exports Fall Year-On-Year Due to Ukrainian Drone Strikes, — Bloomberg

Seaborne oil product flows from #Russia have averaged about 2.2 million barrels a day so far in 2024. That’s a drop of 9% from the average volumes last year and 10% below the levels in 2022, when Europe was still importing Russian fuels

📌If in 2017–2021 average daily deliveries abroad fluctuated within the range of 2.4–2.8 million barrels, then during the current year they amounted to 1.9–2.6 million. Moreover, they reached their maximum values ​​in 2024 only at the very beginning of the year and in December

Breakdowns of Western equipment, which is now difficult to replace, also led to long downtimes

❗️According to official statistics alone, in January–May, Russian refineries reduced gasoline production by almost 20% and diesel fuel by 11%. After that, the authorities classified the statistics

The main buyers of Russian fuel:
🇹🇷 #Turkey — 20%
🇧🇷 #Brazil — 17%
