Turkey's oil imports from Russian ports have been steadily declining in July, according to Reuters. In July, Ankara received approximately 900,000 tons of oil, a significant decrease from the 1.2 million tons received in June, reported UATV English. Turkey has started to diversify its oil sources, now importing crude from Brazil and Guyana.
The trend of reduced oil imports from Russia is anticipated to continue in August, with only around 200,000 tons expected to be shipped from Russian Black Sea ports this month. Earlier, Bloomberg stated that Ukrainian drones have targeted nearly one-third of Russia’s major oil refineries since the start of August. Ukraine has attacked 10 out of Russia’s 34 major oil refineries, primarily linked to the country’s largest oil producers.
