Russia acknowledged a decrease in oil production for the first time this year, citing refinery maintenance. This marks a shift in official statements regarding the nation's energy output. The reduction is linked to "unscheduled technical maintenance" at several Russian oil refineries. Ukraine has intensified attacks on these facilities in recent months, impacting production. Russia, a major global oil producer, stopped publishing official production statistics in April 2023. Recent reports indicate a significant drop in crude oil output compared to the previous year.
