In June, the country earned $16.7 billion from oil exports, which is 1.2% less than a month earlier. However, the country's revenues from oil exports jumped by almost 23% compared to last year.

In June, the weighted average price of Russian oil rose slightly to USD 70.39 per barrel from USD 70.05 in May, but the price increase did not compensate for the decline in export flows.
Russian barrels continued to trade well above the $60 price cap imposed by the Group of Seven industrialized countries in response to the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine,
In June, oil taxes brought in about $6.7 billion to the Russian budget, almost 50% more than a year ago. Compared to May, revenues fell by 6.6% due to a drop in the price of Urals crude, Russia's main export commodity.
