Russia’s revenues from oil and gas exports are expected to rise by 70% in April compared with March, reaching 0.9 trillion rubles ($11.13 billion), Reuters reports.
If confirmed, this would mark the highest level since October 2025.
Such an increase, according to sources, allows Moscow to postpone the implementation of plans to build up long-term budget reserves that had been developed before the outbreak of the war in the Middle East and the subsequent surge in prices.
