The physical volume of exports of petroleum products - about 2,400,000 tons (22%).
The value of this bloody April oil is estimated at about $ 7.4 bln. This amount of export revenue of the aggressor country is approximately equal to the value of 1,090 cruise missiles "Caliber"

Our conclusion: based on a comparison of maritime exports of oil and petroleum products from the russian ports of the #BlackSea and #AzovSea for the last decade of March 2022 and the average for the decade in April 2022 we can say:

I’m travelling, so instead of a blog post on the #AzovSea crisis, a twitter thread. Bottom line: unless mishandled, this is not a prelude to war. It is #Russia|n aggression vs #Ukraine, but limited in scope. (No justification tho that is) /1
Moscow clearly seeks to turn the Azov Sea into a Russian basin, and to use it to bring leverage to bear on Kyiv. It wants to demonstrate its capacity to act without having to worry about external constraint. /2
Thus is demonstrates military and (geo)political preponderance, but in what is intended as a limited way. /3

#Ukraine’s on the verge of martial law b/c #Russia just seriously escalated its 4yo illegal war—blocking key Kerch Strait, firing on & seizing 3 Ukrainian navy ships, wounding 6 Ukrainian sailors—AND Trump attacks NATO & EU. Appalling, terrifying & expected of a #PutinPuppet.
#Russia’s fresh aggression in its 4+yr illegal war on #Ukraine is a crisis with advance warning. Read @KyivPost’s coverage of Russia’s military threats to gain control of Azov Sea kyivpost.com/ukraine-politi… via @BSBonner #KerchStrait #KerchBlockade #PutinWar #RussiaAttacksUkraine
