Novak said that about 80% of Russian oil is exported to countries in the Asia-Pacific region

The key destination for Russian energy supplies now are the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, which, in particular, account for the majority of oil exports from the Russian Federation. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak spoke about this in an interview with Russia 24, the recording of which was published by the government press service.

According to the deputy chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers, in recent years the Russian Federation has been supplying a significant amount of energy resources to friendly countries, which are increasing their consumption. We are talking primarily about China and India.

“We supply approximately 80 percent of oil to this region, and a significant amount of gas, including pipeline gas. (...) We also supply liquefied natural gas and coal,” Novak listed, emphasizing that, of course, we are talking not only about supplies, but also about joint projects.
