Ukraine is not going to abandon Russian oil: reasons for the decision.
Ukrainian oil refiners do not plan to reduce imports of Russian oil
According to inkorr.com: Ukrainian oil refiners are not going to decrease imports of Russian oil, despite calls from US President Donald Trump not to cooperate with Russia. Information from Bloomberg confirms that supplies will continue in November and December, although they may decrease compared to previous volumes.
Pressure from Washington has led to a temporary halt in imports of Russian oil to India. Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian facilities have also reduced import volumes to the lowest level in two years. However, after a decrease in pressure from the US, a recovery in supply growth is expected due to the activity of Reliance Industries.
A quote from Bloomberg emphasizes that Russian oil is an important and accessible source for India and China, who avoid purchases from other countries under sanctions.
The insignificant pressure from the US does not alter India's plans regarding the import of Russian oil. Although oil imports by Indian refiners have been temporarily halted, a resumption is expected due to the reduction of pressure from the US and actions taken by Reliance Industries. Major players in the Indian market, such as Nayara Energy and Indian Oil Corp, are considering diversifying their oil supply sources, including exploring Brazilian oil. The importance of Russian oil for India and China is highlighted by sources from Bloomberg.
The situation with Russian oil imports during global supply changes emphasizes the complexity of market relations. India and China, continuing to import, show that despite international sanctions, Russian oil remains a significant element of their energy strategies. This may reflect potential implications for other countries trying to balance between geopolitical pressures and economic interests.
