According to the American statistical service, in the fall of 2023, Washington began importing oil from Russia again, and then made a repeat purchase.
According to statistical information, in October last year, the United States purchased 36.8 thousand barrels of Russian oil. The cost of imports amounted to 2.7 million dollars.
A month later, in November, the purchase volume amounted to 9.9 thousand barrels, it cost Washington 750 thousand dollars. It is known that in both cases, the hydrocarbon was purchased for consumption.
At the same time, one barrel of Russian oil in October cost the buyer $ 74, in November — $ 76, which is significantly higher than the price ceiling set by the G7 countries — $ 60 per barrel.
Almost two years ago, the United States imposed sanctions against oil from Russia
On March 8, 2022, a ban on energy imports from Russia was established. Crude oil, petroleum products, petroleum fuels and oils, as well as their distillation products, liquefied natural gas, coal and coal products were banned from import into the United States.
