MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Despite the fact that the United States and its allies have imposed nearly 15,000 sanctions on Russia over the past year and a half, including the export of some goods such as fertilizers, the goal to cripple Russia's economy has not been reached.
Russia sold at least $6.6 billion worth of fertilizers to 57 countries in the first half of 2023, with Brazil, India and the United States being the main buyers, data from the UN Comtrade platform of national statistical services reviewed by Sputnik showed.
Brazil ($1.9 billion) and India ($1.3 billion) accounted for almost half of Russian exports, followed by the US, which purchased $890 million worth of fertilizers. China ($632 million) and Mexico ($429 million) were also in the top five.
