The Global NGO conducted an investigation and found that Bulgaria has allowed millions of Russian oil barrels to get into a local Russian oil refinery, which belongs to Lukoil, taking advantage of its liberation from the EU ban on Russian oil. The plant then exported a variety of purified fuel abroad, and Moscow has earned € 983 million on such deliveries.
According to experts on sanctions, it is not a direct violation The regime, as the European Commission prepares its 12th package of sanctions against Russia. When EU countries decided to ban oil imports from Russia in June 2022, Bulgaria won "special status" by the end of 2024 because of its "geographical predisposition".
The country depends largely on the branched oil refinery plant in the Burgas on the Black Sea coast, which provides 80 percent of Bulgaria's needs for diesel fuel and gasoline and provides a tenth of economic production of the country. It should be reminded that G7 refused to thaw the assets of the Russian Federation until Russia pays Ukraine's material damage to Ukraine.
