  • Crude shipments to Europe averaged 630,000 barrels a day in the four weeks to Oct. 7, down from 1.62 million before the invasion.
  • Flows to China, India and Turkey, which initially stepped in to fill the gap after European buyers started to shun Russian exports, peaked in June at 2.2 million barrels a day. In the four weeks to Oct. 7 that figure was down by about 320,000 barrels a day.
