Russia has oil reserves for export, will use them - deputy PM

MOSCOW. March 26 (Interfax) - Russia has diversified routes for oil exports, and reserves of crude are available, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak told reporters when answering a question about whether the country could quickly redirect supplies from Baltic ports.

"We have diversified supply routes. As you know, there are pipeline supplies via the ESPO [East Siberia Pacific Ocean] pipeline, Skovorodino-Mokhe, through Kazakhstan; there are ports in the Black Sea and the Baltic, so there are reserves. We will use them," he said.
