Atacurile ucrainene și producția redusă de petrol taie 17% din veniturile energetice ale Rusiei

Russia's energy revenues have dropped by 17% this year despite high oil prices, due to production disruptions and currency appreciation. Fiscal revenues from oil and gas fell to 5.47 trillion rubles, contributing to a projected 3% GDP deficit. The Urals oil price reached over $92, but production forecasts have worsened, indicating the lowest output in 17 years. Ukrainian drone attacks have impacted refinery operations, leading to fuel shortages and a significant decline in oil production. The ruble's appreciation has further affected revenues, which were already down 24% last year, marking the lowest since 2020.
