Prices in the Baltic are now half of what they were in early May.The agency notes that Ukraine's attacks on refineries (Ufa, Yaroslavl, Slavyansk-on-Kuban, Moscow) have prompted the redirection of raw materials for export. Supplies to Asia reached 3.98 million b/d; to China - 1.08 million b/d, to India - 0.74 million b/d, and another 2.13 million b/d with no final destination.Against the backdrop of sluggish demand from China, Moscow will likely have to offer large discounts, according to Bloomberg.@Intelslava
