Russian oil producers could declare force majeure over attacks on Baltic ports - Reuters
- Russian oil firms reportedly warned buyers they could declare force majeure on supplies from major Baltic Sea ports as following Ukraine's attacks on Russian energy infrastructure.
- Ukrainian drones on Friday targeted the port in Ust-Luga.
- Oil loadings at the port have reportedly been halted since Wednesday due to the raids.
- The report suggests that oil loadings from Ust-Luga may not resume until mid-April.
- Primorsk, another major Russian Baltic Sea port, was also damaged, but it partially resumed oil and fuel loadings on Thursday.
