India and Turkey help: Russia supplies oil to Europe, despite the embargo - media

Sea ports in India take about 70 tankers with oil from the Russian Federation on a monthly basis. In April, this country ahead of Saudi Arabia as a supplier, although it does not have large oil reserves, KPler experts say. The European Union receives Russian oil through third countries, despite the embargo. About it writes the German magazine Der Spiegel on May 22, with reference to KPler's research, which studies global supply chains. India's seaports take at least two oil tankers daily.

In a month 70 vessels come there, said KPler analyst Victor Cathous and called this situation "full of madness". From December 2022, it has been forbidden to import Russian oil into Europe. And since February, an embargo on diesel and gasoline have been introduced. According to Caton, all this does not mean that oil from the Russian Federation will not go to EU countries. Only now will it be an expensive and multi -kilometer path.

Kpler noticed the restructuring of world transportation after the imposition of sanctions. Tankers with Russian oil go not to the west, but to the east - to Turkey, Saudi Arabia and mainly to India. There are several oil refineries on the western coast of India, including the world's largest jamnagar refinery. Oil from the Russian Federation is processed there into gasoline and diesel and taken to the European Union.

According to KPler, in April, India put more fuel in EU countries than once and even ahead of Saudi Arabia as a supplier. It is worth noting that India is not a country with huge oil reserves. India does not support sanctions against the Russian Federation, in April it imported up to two million barrels on oil from this country. This is almost 40% of its national needs. Prior to the start of a full -scale war in Ukraine, the figure was about 1%. Recycled petroleum products can be considered Indian.

Some of the companies belong to the Russian Federation, for example, Vadinar oil refining plant is almost 50% of Rosneft. The Finnish Analytical Center for Energy and Pure Air Research accuses the event of indirect financing of war in Ukraine through the purchase of oil products in the Russian Federation. Recall that after the imposition of sanctions increased in April oil exports to 8. 3 million barrels per day.
