Russian oil has been by far the most voluminous item of our imports for some time, although it is not clear to me whether the Russian oil imported to Malta was used for domestic consumption or re-exported to other destinations.
According to the National Statistics Office, Malta imported €282.5 million worth of Russian oil in 2017, €122.6 million of Russian in 2018 and €274 million in 2019. In 2020, the figure goes down to just €62.4 million.
