“In 10 months, the total investment in oil production amounted to 1 trillion 400 billion rubles, last year it was 1.5 trillion rubles in total,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying from an interview with Rossiya 24.

Novak noted that by the end of the year, in the oil industry, Russia will reach an increase in production compared to last year, by about 2%, to the level of 535 million barrels per year.

Earlier, the head of Transneft, Nikolai Tokarev, said that the company had already received an application for pumping oil through the Druzhba pipeline from Poland and Germany for 2023, despite the statements of these countries about the refusal of supplies.
