In February, Russia supplied 690 million euros worth of oil to the EU.
The increase in October was mainly due to a doubling of exports to the Czech Republic to 185.9 million euros from 91.3 million a month earlier. Supplies to Hungary also increased significantly, by half to 233 million euros. In addition, the Netherlands increased its imports to 60.7 million euros from 40.5 million a month earlier.
But Slovakia, on the contrary, reduced its purchases of Russian oil in October by 8% to 207.9 million euros.
