Russia Blames Ukraine for Attack on Crime Bridge

RUSSIA
  • Traffic on the strategically important Kerch bridge, connecting Crimea with the Russia mainland, has been suspended following a drone attack late last night. Wires are carrying comments from the Russian Investigative Committee stating that, the attack, which killed two, was carried out by Ukrainian Special Services. The attack may further imperil the Black Sea Grain Deal which is set to expire at midnight tonight (Istanbul time).
  • According to Kommersant, Russian marine oil exports in August may fall to the annual minimum of 2.9m-3m bpd, meaning Russia will thus fulfil its promise to reduce oil exports by 500K bpd.
  • According to Bloomberg, Russia is set to publish its export duty for crude and fuel oil for August today. There are no major economic releases scheduled. The CBR rate decision is the key risk event this week on Friday.
