While direct contracts between Russia and the USA to supply oil or oil products are not, they have to go international traders, says the analyst of Raiffeisenbank Andrey Polischuk, and therefore to speak about a sustainable trend is not: “It all depends on the traders. The volumes are redirected to where the currently cheaper price. The market is global, so at any point of time, tankers are redirected to where more favorable conditions, regardless of where the oil came.”

“A senior analyst at consulting company in the field of oil and gas FGE Dora Polgar said that after the imposition of sanctions against PDVSA the Americans needed to compensate for the dropped volumes of Venezuelan oil, reports the TV channel “Rain”. As a result, they increased imports of varieties that are close to the Venezuelan, including Russia’s Urals”.
