Greece helps russian federation to circumvent the “oil” sanctions of the European Union

The bay in the south of Greece has become a permanent place for raid transshipment of russian oil and oil products.

Since the beginning of 2023, the volume of raid transshipment of russian oil and oil products in Lakonikos Bay in southern Greece has reached at least 23 million barrels.

Traders use these workarounds to avoid EU sanctions against russian federation, writes Bloomberg.

Greek authorities say their ability to intervene is limited because the activity is taking place beyond the six-mile limit of the country’s territorial waters in the area.

At the same time, traders and shipping companies found ways to ensure the supply of russian oil. Similar activity was previously observed near Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in northern Africa.

As previously reported by USM, the oil from russian federation comes to Asia through Spain .
