According to an analysis by a private research company, exports of crude oil using tankers from Russia, which is subject to severe economic sanctions, have exceeded last year before the military invasion earlier this month.
In addition to India and China, there are countries in Europe where acceptance is increasing, and it has been pointed out that the impact of sanctions is limited at this time.
Following the military invasion of Ukraine, the United States announced an embargo on crude oil from Russia last month, and the United Kingdom and Canada have announced plans to cancel procurement.
The results of an analysis by the Belgian private company "KPLER", which is investigating the distribution situation based on information on the operation of oil tankers around the world, have been revealed.
According to it, the amount of crude oil exported from Russia and arriving in each country by tanker has recovered from the drop immediately after the invasion, and this month is about 7% higher than last year's average as of the 26th.
By country, the number of people who have decreased significantly is
▽ America is minus 83%
▽ Finland is minus 81%
▽ Germany is minus 79%
▽ United Kingdom is minus 70%.
On the other hand,
▽ India increased 8.4 times
▽ Turkey increased 2.4 times, and
▽ China also increased 13%.
Furthermore
, there are countries where acceptance is increasing in Europe,
such as Italy 2.1 times .
KPLER's chief crude oil analyst, Matt Smith, said, "Since the price of Russian crude oil is cheap, we see India as an opportunity to buy more. Some countries in Europe that do not have an embargo will buy. We continue to do so, "he said, pointing out that the impact of sanctions is limited so far.
