Russia\u2019s economy is growing ever more dependent on the export of energy resources and metals, most of which are sold to China, UATV English<\/a> informed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report was released by the\u00a0Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the first nine months of 2025, trade between Russia and China fell to 163.6 billion dollars, a decline of 9.4% compared with the same period in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, both Chinese exports to Russia decreased by 11.3% (to 73.6 billion dollars) and Russian supplies to China fell by 7.7% (to 90 billion dollars).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary driver of this decline was the drop in energy prices. The value of Russia\u2019s energy exports to China fell by 18.9%, or 14 billion dollars, between January and September. Oil exports decreased by 8.1% in physical volumes and by 21% in monetary terms due to lower Brent prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another factor was the oversaturation of the Russian market with Chinese-made cars. Following record imports in 2024, demand more than halved, to 56%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional pressure stemmed from logistics disruptions. In autumn, lines of trucks formed at the China\u2013Kazakhstan border, and transportation costs from China to Russia increased: by rail\u2014by 25% (to 5,000 dollars), and by road\u2014by 35% (to 15,000 dollars for a 20-ton truck). Several maritime operators, including CStar Line (UAE) and STF Shipping (China), reduced their routes to Russian ports due to financial restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe russian economy\u2019s dependence on exports of energy carriers and metals, most of which are sold to China, makes it increasingly vulnerable to fluctuations in demand on the Chinese market and increases its dependence on Beijing,\u201d the intelligence service concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported earlier,\u00a0Russia\u2019s revenues from oil and petroleum product exports declined again\u00a0in October due to reduced export volumes and falling prices amid sanctions and Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As previously reported by UATV English, North Korea has supplied Russia with\u00a0more than twice fewer artillery shells in 2025<\/a>\u00a0compared to last year, indicating that\u00a0Pyongyang\u2019s stockpiles are being depleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
