Oil steady as US weighs sale of seized Venezuelan crude

Russian forces struck Ukraine's Black Sea port of Odessa late on Monday and damaged port facilities and a ship, in the second attack on the region in less than 24 hours.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian drone attacks damaged two vessels, two piers and sparked a fire in a village in Russia's Krasnodar region.

Ukraine has also targeted Russia's maritime logistics, focusing on "shadow-fleet" oil tankers that attempt to bypass sanctions on Russia.
