Russia increased oil exports to Syria by 75% to 60,000 barrels per day this year, becoming the nation's primary supplier. Moscow replaced Iran as the top provider following the collapse of the Bashar al-Assad government in late evening December 2024. This reliance complicates Syrian efforts to integrate into Western financial systems and risks triggering new United States sanctions.
