What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Refineries in Brunei are currently using Russian crude oil while Russia continues to export fossil fuels to various global markets despite sanctions. In October, refineries in India, Turkiye, and Brunei used Russian crude to export oil products worth €1.6 billion to countries imposing sanctions, including the European Union, the US, and New Zealand. Russia’s total fossil fuel export revenues rose 14% month-on-month to €754 million per day in October, reaching a four-year high.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The continued flow of Russian crude oil to nations like Brunei and India demonstrates the global market's ability to absorb Russian exports despite sanctions. This trade pattern is contributing to a four-year high in Russia's fossil fuel earnings, while regional energy markets adjust to these shifting supply chains.
