The December decline will hit Russia hard, as the country has sharply increased its defense and security spending since launching its full-scale war against Ukraine in February 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As reported, Russia\u2019s crude oil output last month dropped significantly below its OPEC+ quota, Ukrainian drone strikes disrupted refinery operations, and Moscow struggled to find buyers for its sanctioned barrels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russia\u2019s budget revenues from oil and gas sales are expected to drop &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":1263225,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,49,36418,36415],"tags":[78],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-1269252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-news-en","category-11473-news-en-2","category-11473-news-en","tag-homepage-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
