He spoke about this during his speech at the International Baikal Risk Forum.
According to Deryushkin, a couple of months ago, the discount on Russian oil was almost $40 per barrel.
“Today, due to the fact that freight has fallen a little and there are still alternative consumers, the discount on Urals is no longer $40, but $20 [per barrel].
As before, this is a significant discount, a significant blow to the economy of mining companies, but in general, these are still comfortable realities in which one can exist, ”TASS quotes him.
As Russian Energy Minister Nikolai Shulginov reminded earlier, Russia will not sell gas or oil to countries that set a price ceiling on them.
