Russia’s oil-export revenue contracted to $17.7 billion in August, the lowest since at least March, as a decline in crude prices more than offset higher supplies abroad, according to the International Energy Agency.

That’s a drop of $1.2 billion from a month earlier, even as Russia’s daily crude and oil products exports rose by 220,000 barrels to 7.6 million barrels, the IEA estimated.
