Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov was apparently refused refueling in Brazil. Lavrov actually wanted to fly on to the Brazilian capital Brasilia in his Ilyushin Il-96 after the G20 meeting.

But the kerosene supplier “Vibra Energia” in Brasília refused to refuel Lavrov’s plane. According to media reports, ‘Vibrra E energia’ refused to refill for fear of sanctions. After the Russian attack on Ukraine, the USA imposed sanctions that also affect companies abroad if they do business with Russia.
