Russia's oil production is projected to reach 515 million metric tons this year, an increase from the 512 million tons expected in 2025, according to Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak.
Despite facing disruptions from Ukraine's strikes on port infrastructure, pipelines, and refineries that have slashed export capabilities by 1 million barrels per day, the government is exploring ways to enhance domestic fuel supplies.
Novak, when questioned about current oil output, deferred to the energy ministry for further information.
