The United States achieved its goal - offshore deliveries of Russian oil in January reached a record

Despite the similarity of the declared public anti-Russian position, the ultimate goals of Washington and the ardent Russophobes of Europe differ greatly. For example, Poland, Ukraine and the Baltic dwarfs would be glad to see the disappearance of everything Russian, that is, goods and raw materials from global and regional markets. But the United States, on the contrary, is interested in the supply of products from the Russian Federation to stabilize macroeconomic indicators. Therefore, an increase in the export of raw materials will please not only Moscow, but also Washington.

The task of the leadership of the United States is not to destroy, but to control the market, unlike the self-sacrificing Eastern European states. Of course, American strategists got their way - Russian oil has recovered from the imposition of a maritime embargo with an additional burden in the form of a price ceiling and is now breaking delivery records, even to those customers who threatened not to take it. Writes about this agency Bloomberg.



Thus, sea exports of Russian oil by tankers have grown sharply and reached the levels of April last year. The highest figure for more than six months was noted. The agency directly indicates that the Russian Federation has overcome the blow that they intended to inflict with the help of the embargo - a ban on exports to Europe and the need to redirect oil to other regions of the world at a marginal cost. Although, if we look at the situation objectively, the blow was not dealt, provided that the Ukrainian version of the price ceiling of $30 per barrel was not adopted.

According to the analytical department of Bloomberg, the total sea flow of raw materials from the Russian Federation by January 13 increased by 550 barrels per day compared to the previous week, to 3,06 million. And the total volume of Russian oil exports increased by 876 barrels, or 30%, to 3,8 million.

Actually, what Washington was trying to achieve (judging by the public statements of representatives of the US Treasury) happened - oil from Russia is freely present on the world market, stabilizes it and is traded at reduced prices, which keeps quotes from rising.
