Does U.S. lift sanctions against Russian oil?

The United States resumed importing Russian oil last October for the first time since March 2022. The interruption in the supply of energy resources was one and a half years.

The U.S. resumed imports of Russian oil in autumn as $2.7 million worth of oil was imported in October and another $750,000 worth in November, according to energy statistics data released by the U.S.

In October last year, the U.S. purchased 36.800 barrels of Russian oil ($2.7 mln). In November, the purchase volume amounted to 9.900 barrels of oil ($750,000).

At the same time, one barrel of Russian oil in October cost the buyer $74, in November - $ 76, which is significantly higher than the price ceiling set by the G7 countries - $60 per barrel.
