MOSCOW, July 7 (Reuters) - Oil output at Russia's Sakhalin 1
project, which ExxonMobil  XOM.N  left in March over Ukraine,
has plummeted to just 10,000 barrels per day (bpd) from 220,000
bpd, TASS news agency quoted a Russian official as saying in
Thursday.
    Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yury Trutnev said the
production has declined due to "restrictions". The West has
introduced sweeping sanctions against Russia following the start
of what it calls a "special military operation" in Ukraine.
