Russia made nearly $100B from fuel exports in war’s first 100 days

In the 100 days since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia's revenues have risen to $97 billion, driven by oil exports. It is reported by the Washington Post

China became the largest importer, purchasing more than $13 billion worth of fuel during this period. China is followed by Germany with about $12.6 billion.

In turn, France became the largest importer of Russian liquefied natural gas. Japan imported the most coal in the 100 days after the invasion.

In May, the volume of Russian exports fell by 15% due to the fact that some governments decided to put pressure on Moscow and abandon Russian energy sources. But high fuel prices, caused by growing global demand, compensated the Russian treasury for all costs.

In addition, several countries increased their imports of Russian fuel during the first 100 days of the war. These countries included France, India, China, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
