#MOSCOW, Jan 26 (Reuters) - #Russia's largest petrochemical company and exporter of liquefied petroleum gas (#LPG) #Sibur is reducing #LPGExports from the #BalticSea port of Ust-Luga due to shortages of #GasTankers amid #sanctions, two industry sources told Reuters on Friday.

The cuts in supplies further undermine Russian #FuelExports, which have already been rocked by #fires and #Drone attacks, including at the port. #Ukraine
