Russia's revenues from crude oil and fuel exports in October fell to $13.1 billion – $2.3 billion less than in the same period last year, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported. The reasons were falling world prices, reduced exports, and the consequences of Ukrainian strikes on oil refining infrastructure. This is stated in the Reuters material, writes UNN.
