According to data from the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), China and India have emerged as the primary purchasers of Russian seaborne fuel oil and vacuum gas oil (VGO) in February. This trend reflects the growing demand for energy resources in both countries and underscores their reliance on Russian oil products.

The data reveals that China and India accounted for a significant share of Russian seaborne fuel oil and VGO imports during the month of February. The strong demand from these key Asian markets highlights the strategic importance of Russian oil supplies in meeting their energy requirements.

China's robust economic growth and India's expanding industrial base have driven the surge in demand for fuel oil and VGO, which are essential components in various sectors, including manufacturing, transportation, and power generation. The data from LSEG underscores the pivotal role of Russian oil exports in fueling the economic development of these countries.

The preference for Russian seaborne fuel oil and VGO by China and India underscores the competitiveness and reliability of Russian oil products in the global market. Despite geopolitical tensions and fluctuations in oil prices, both countries continue to prioritize securing reliable energy supplies to sustain their economic growth trajectories.

As China and India maintain their position as leading buyers of Russian seaborne fuel oil and VGO, the data from LSEG highlights the enduring partnership between these countries and Russia in the energy sector. The continued collaboration is expected to shape global oil trade dynamics and influence market trends in the foreseeable future.
