🛢️🤔 Russia has been delivering crude oil directly to European ports for several weeks. This is shown by analyses of GPS data. This violates current EU sanctions, - FAZ
Tankers carrying Russian oil have been heading directly to ports in the EU for several weeks. This was the result of research by Greenpeace, which documented the program "Report Mainz".
This violates current EU sanctions. Russian crude oil transports by ship to the EU have been banned since March 2023. The transports mainly involved ships from Greek shipping companies, some of whose ships are classified as part of the so-called Russian "shadow fleet". These are tankers suspected of helping Russia to circumvent sanctions.
@TheOldGuy An admission that sanctions have failed; when direct shipments are blocked, they just come via India, with a stiff mark-up.
