Russia’s crude oil shipments have dropped to their lowest levels in eight months, potentially complicating President Vladimir Putin’s defense spending plans. Oil, which contributed 16% to Russia’s GDP in 2023, has been a key target of Western sanctions since the invasion of Ukraine. Recent data shows that crude oil shipments have decreased, particularly in the Pacific region, which may be due to maintenance issues.
While it’s uncertain if this trend will continue, experts suggest monitoring Russia’s budget oil revenues. Despite the fall in oil shipments, Putin is planning to significantly increase defense spending in 2025 to maintain the country’s war footing.

For sure it is real, but we are reading that Russia has been on the verge of economic collapse for at least 1 year.
They are still there bombing Ukraine like always.
