Russia will not yet change the supply route of the oil it sends to Asian countries via Yemen. This opinion was expressed in a conversation with socialbites.ca by Igor Yushkov, a leading analyst of the National Energy Security Fund (NEF), in which he commented on the consequences of US air strikes on Yemen.
“Russian oil is transported from West to East mainly through Yemen. It is also sent to India via the Suez Canal. The Russian Federation has some agreements with Iran. And probably Moscow will reach an agreement with Tehran to coordinate the situation with Yemen and ensure that Russian ships are not damaged. “Our ships will most likely not change their route until the last minute, unlike foreign ships,” Yushkov said.
The analyst admitted that Moscow would start adjusting the oil transportation route “only if it really messes up.” Yushkov announced that there were some political agreements and that Russian fuel was transported by the shadow fleet.
