The Russian invasion of Ukraine has crossed 100 days and the sanctions imposed by the United States and major European countries have caused a lot of damage to the Russian economy. With the ongoing crisis, a lot of countries have also decided to stop importing oil and natural gas from Russia. However, according to research conducted by Finland-based Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), Russia remains the top exporter of fossil fuel with $98bn in total earnings since the war in Ukraine started. European Union remains the top importer of Russian oil and natural gas.

Before the war started in Ukraine, Russia accounted for 40 percent of the European Union’s gas and 27 percent of its imported oil. However, since the crisis started, the EU have taken steps to reduce their import, but no complete ban has been placed yet despite multiple requests from Ukraine.

The report claims that EU accounted for 61 per cent of the total exports during the first 100 days of the war. The other importers were China, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey and Poland.

The report also said that Russia’s income came from crude oil ($48.2bn), followed by pipeline gas ($25.1bn), oil products ($13.6bn), liquefied natural gas, or LNG, ($5.3bn) and coal ($4.8bn).

Although the amount of oil and gas exported by Russia decreased in the time period, it was balanced by the authorities with higher prices. According to CREA, the prices were almost 60 per cent higher.

“India became a significant importer of Russian crude oil, buying 18% of the country’s exports,” CREA said, adding that a “significant share of the crude is re-exported as refined oil products”.

Russia earns $98 billion from fuel exports during 100 Days of Ukraine war: Report

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis believes that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a dangerous precedent in modern history. In an exclusive interview with Executive Editor of WION Palki Sharma, he explained that Baltic nations are worried about a possible Russian aggression.

“If a big country and a nuclear power is allowed to cross another country’s border and stay there, it changes the meaning of the security architecture that was probably built after the second World War. That means that if you are allowed to do it once, what stops you from doing it more times?”

“There are countries in the vicinity who are at risk. One is Moldova and there was some military movement in Transnistria which is actually between Ukraine and Moldova. But the question is whether NATO borders will be enough to stop Russia and there are people in a number of Baltic states who are thinking that maybe it will not be enough,” Landsbergis said in the interview.

Ukraine has received a lot of help from NATO nations since the Russian invasion started in February 24 and the Lithuanian FM praised the ‘unprecedented’ response from the world.

“Before the 24th of February, you would have heard more about the disagreements and the difficult road towards a consensus when it comes to the European Union. Now, we have not only managed to secure the 27 around the European table but also to expand it. The global response to the Russian aggression was unprecedented and this is what caught Mr Putin by surprise,” he explained.

Exclusive | Europe needs to find consensus on banning Russian oil and gas, says Lithuanian Foreign Minister

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has said that India imports only 1-2 per cent of Russia's total energy imports.

Expressing the Biden administration's willingness to work with New Delhi, Psaki said that energy payments made by India to Russia are not sanctioned.

Psaki said that "certainly our expectation and our public and private message is, will continue to be that every country should abide by the sanctions that we have announced and that we are implementing around the world."

''We’ve been very clear that each country is going to make their own choices, even as we have made the decision and other countries have made the decision to ban energy imports."

Meanwhile,&nbsp;US Deputy National Security Adviser for International Economics Daleep Singh said that "We stand ready to help India diversify its energy resources, much like is the case for defence resources over a period of time. But there is no prohibition at present on energy imports from Russia."

"What we would not like to see is a rapid acceleration of India's imports from Russia as it relates to energy or any other exports that are currently being prohibited by us or by other aspects of the international sanctions regime."

"What Daleep did make clear to his counterparts during this visit was that we don’t believe it’s in India’s interest to accelerate or increase imports of Russian energy and other commodities," Psaki said.

Washington is trying to convince India to not help Russia in the resurrection of the rouble by halting its trade with the long-term ally.

"We would not like to see mechanisms that are designed to prop up the rouble or to undermine the dollar-based financial system, or to circumvent our financial sanctions," Singh said.

The Biden administration has highlighted that Russia's global boycott due to the invasion of Ukraine is tilting it towards China due to which Moscow will not help India during its border issues with Beijing.

"Russia is going to be the junior partner in this relationship with China," Singh said.&nbsp;

"And the more leverage that China gains over Russia, the less favourable that is for India," he added.

White House says India imports only 1-2% of Russia's total energy imports

German Economy Minister Robert Habeck on Tuesday issued an "urgent appeal" to OPEC oil producers to ramp up output following a spike in prices and supply fears due to the Ukraine crisis.

Habeck called on top oil-producing nations to "increase production in order to create relief on the market".

"That would be a contribution" to easing the stress on firms and households, he said at a Berlin press conference.

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/gravitas-ukraine-invasion-global-investors-lose-billions-460057/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

Oil&nbsp;prices rose on Tuesday, with Brent surging past $132 a barrel on expectations that the United States and Britain will announce a formal ban on Russian&nbsp;oil&nbsp;imports, stoking supply concerns.

The ban is expected to be a gradual phasing out over time and is expected to last about a year to try to stop people panic-buying fuel.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said prices could rise to more than $300 a barrel.

In addition to the humanitarian disaster unfolding in Ukraine, the fighting and ensuing Western sanctions against Vladimir Putin’s Russia have sent a shock wave through the global economy.

Energy prices have surged worldwide, stocks have plummeted, and the food supply for many who rely on crops farmed in the fertile Black Sea region has been threatened.

Russia is the world's biggest exporter of oil and natural gas, and until now its energy exports had been exempted from international sanctions. Although the United States is not a leading buyer of Russian oil, its allies are likely to come under pressure to also wean their economies off Russian energy.

Europe is heavily reliant on Russian energy imports, and Western sanctions against Russia have so far not targeted oil and gas.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has called Russian energy supplies of "essential importance" for people's daily lives in Europe's biggest economy.

The US announcement will intensify the impact of the war on a global economy already suffering supply shortages and price surges as it lurches out of the pandemic crisis. In the United States, gas pump prices have already hit a record since Russia launched the invasion, worsening inflation that was already at 40-year highs.

US Senator Chris Coons, a Democrat, said the administration was coordinating with European allies "and making sure that we've done the groundwork to understand how to effectively implement a ban on Russian energy."

"We are going to see increased gas prices here in the United States. In Europe, they will see dramatic increases in prices. That's the cost of standing up for freedom and standing alongside the Ukrainian people, but it's going to cost us," Coons told CNN.

Buses carried civilians out of one embattled Ukrainian city Tuesday and supplies toward another, as officials tried to rescue people away from a Russian onslaught and ease the dire humanitarian situation for those still stuck.

On the 13th day of the invasion, Europe’s worst refugee crisis since World War II grew even more severe, with UN&nbsp;officials reporting that 2 million people have now fled Ukraine.

Demands for ways to safely evacuate civilians have surged along with intensifying shelling by Russian forces that is also strangling cities, cutting off supplies of food, water and medicine as well as escape routes in tactics described by Ukrainian officials as reminiscent of medieval sieges.
