[ 06 ]$_COUNTRY BRIEF · shortage posture

Russia is among the top three crude producers and the second-largest natural-gas producer, and is the world's largest wheat exporter. Energy and grain sales remain its fiscal backbone. Sanctions have not cut output but have rerouted exports toward Asia at widening discounts and constrained access to technology, insurance and Western shipping.
