How Russian oil exports continue to flow
It is nearly two months that European Union’s seaborne crude imports from Russia have come to a halt (with the exception of Bulgaria), while we are days away from the EU ban on Russian oil product imports becoming effective on 5 February.

G-7 countries and further partners are implementing similar sets of sanctions.
