The great oil pivot.

Importer-reported Russian-origin crude oil, HS 270900. Net weight divided by calendar days, in thousand tonnes per day. EU-27 is the sum of available member-state route weights, not a certified complete total. Missing routes are not asserted to be zero. The top three EU buyers are fixed by reported 2020 weight: Germany, Netherlands and Poland. Rest of EU covers the other 24 members. UK, Norway and Türkiye are excluded. An asterisk marks source-estimated weight.

The Annual story compares EU-27, China and India. The separate Monthly India option shows ten published India-route observations from October 2025 through July 2026. It does not claim complete global-month coverage or show an EU/China monthly comparison. August 2026 is excluded because the India route is absent. Annual 2025 is also excluded because China is absent in the loaded response. Annual EU values remain explicitly labeled reported subtotals. A market appearing in the crude-import response does not prove that its reporting is complete. Animation is illustrative between observations. Transitional figures carry ≈ and are illustrative interpolations; exact source observations remain available in the evidence table. Camera movement does not change the flow-width scale. Pause freezes the exact frame. Switching away suspends rendering and resumes automatically on return. Intermediate observations have no timed holds; flow and camera motion remain continuous. The earlier H1 2025 China figure was EIA analysis based on Global Trade Tracker, Argus and Vortexa, in barrels per day, and is not spliced into this Comtrade weight series.
