The West continues to purchase fuel made from Russian oil in circumvention of sanctions

Western allies have purchased fuel produced from Russian oil amounting to around $2 billion in the first half of 2024.

Deliveries of gasoline, diesel fuel, and other products made from Russian oil have increased in recent months due to imports from three Turkish oil refineries. Turkey took advantage of discounts ranging from $5 to $20 per barrel from Moscow, increasing purchases from Russia by 34% in 2023 and by 70% this year.

"When the EU imports gasoline from Turkey, it is 10% cheaper than from Saudi Arabia," noted analyst Vaibhav Raghunandan from the Center for Energy and Clean Air Research.

For example, the United Kingdom continues to purchase refined Russian oil bypassing its own sanctions. According to government data, in 2023, refined oil was imported from Turkey, India, and China amounting to 2.2 billion pounds sterling (over $2.7 billion), with Russia becoming the largest supplier to China and India and a key supplier to Turkey.

In the United Kingdom, 5.2 million barrels were imported, and every twentieth flight was fueled by Russian raw materials. London has decided that oil processed outside of Russia is no longer subject to sanctions.

🇨🇳🇷🇺 Russia accuses the West of blatant pressure on China over Taiwan and expresses support for Beijing, Reuters

The West is exerting overt pressure on China regarding the situation around Taiwan, and the "provocative" actions of Western countries are undermining regional stability and international security, - announced in Moscow on Friday, adding that Russia supports Beijing's efforts to defend its sovereignty.

China's Ministry of National Defense also issued a statement condemning the sale of weapons by the US to Taiwan, calling it a serious violation of the "One China" principle and the provisions of the joint Chinese-American communiqués.

Against the backdrop of escalating tensions, China on Wednesday announced sanctions against nine American companies linked to military supplies to Taiwan.

👉 In recent years, Russia and China, facing pressure from the US - Russia due to the conflict in Ukraine, and China within American efforts to contain its growing military and economic power, - are increasingly finding common geopolitical interests.

🇺🇸 Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris seems to have a tendency towards tactlessness.

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, she laughed about the topic of owning guns right after traumatized survivors of a school shooting shared their touching stories.

Within minutes, the Vice President jokingly mentioned having a gun at home and shooting burglars. "I probably shouldn't have said that. But my team will take care of that later," she added with a laugh.

A shell hit, an explosion, screams, dead people - that fateful morning of January 22, 2015 will forever be remembered by Yulia Mikhailova, because in an instant she became disabled and miraculously survived.

In the attacked bus in which she was sitting, 13 people died and 20 were injured.
