According to data from the International Energy Agency, Russia's revenue from crude oil and petroleum products in March reached $19.04 billion, nearly doubling from $9.75 billion in February.
Despite frequent Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian ports and the continued blockade of the "Friendship" oil pipeline, Russia's crude oil exports have increased—mainly through higher maritime shipments—now reaching 4.6 million barrels per day.
Russia's crude oil production has also risen. In March, daily output increased from 8.67 million barrels to 8.96 million barrels, approaching pre-sanction levels. However, the International Energy Agency is not overly optimistic about the future. The agency warns that due to damage caused by Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian ports and energy infrastructure, it may be difficult for Russia to further increase production in the short term. If Ukrainian drone attacks intensify and continue, increasing Russia's oil output will become extremely challenging.
