The two tanker loads of North Dakota oil docking in Odesa this month are part of a much larger push by the US to sell oil to Europe, Reuters reports in a story headlined: “U.S. oil makes it to Ukraine in another blow to Moscow.” Following the 80,000 tons of US oil unloaded in Odesa last weekend, another similarly sized shipment is expected in Odesa July 24. More US deliveries to Ukraine are ‘likely’ in August, Reuters reports from London and Moscow. Partly in reaction to the disruption caused by contaminated oil from Russia, Reuters says, “U.S. supplies to Europe have risen steadily since May and have remained above 2.5 million tons a month.”
