This is the volume (in tonnes); the price has also declined, by 30% since April. Because the pipeline infrastructure isn't set to pump oil to other countries, this means a significant decline in forex revenue for Russia, hence the renewed slump in the rouble.

Germany has ended its dependence on Russian energy. Since August 11th, no coal has been imported. Natural gas imports have been reduced from 55% at the beginning of 2022 to zero. Oil imports dropped from 40% to under 20%, and will be phased out by the end of this year.
No wonder Putin is kite-flying "peace" proposals.
