Russia in March became one of the three leading oil suppliers to the USA
Direct translation of the article[REGNUM] The volume of oil and petroleum products supplied in March this year from Russia to the United States became a record in 12 years, according to the materials of the Energy Information Administration of the US Department of Energy (EIA). According to this department, the volume of imports of Russian oil and petroleum products in March amounted to 22.938 million barrels - 1.8 times more than in February. Canada retained the first place with 139.869 million barrels, the third - Mexico with 17.616 million barrels. The EIA stressed that the indicators relate to oil and oil products in aggregate. Separately, in terms of oil, Russia took only fourth place with a volume of delivery of 6.1 million barrels. We will remind, the abnormal cold, which faced the state of Texas and a number of other regions of the United States in early 2021, brought down oil production in the country by almost 40%. For this reason, as well as because of the embargo against Venezuela and the OPEC agreement, the United States was forced to increase oil purchases from other countries, including Russia.
