Kremlin says France’s nuclear test launch part of ‘dead-end’ anti-Russia strategy

The presidential office said South Korea had consistently enforced sanctions and export controls against Russia in close coordination with the international community.

Kremlin says France’s nuclear test launch part of ‘dead-end’ anti-Russia strategy

Russian President Vladimir Putin has dismissed a report from South Korea that suggests Moscow has imported petroleum products from that nation's ports, calling the claims a "dead-end" and part of an "anti-Russian strategy."

Ukraine's top sanctions official, Vladyslav Vlasiuk, had previously claimed that these shipments had helped mitigate the impact of fuel shortages caused by Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian oil refineries. The Guardian reported that port records and ship-tracking data indicated that fuel had been loaded onto seven tankers, including those under British and EU sanctions, at South Korean ports.

South Korea's presidential office stated that it has consistently enforced sanctions and export controls against Russia since Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. They emphasized that Seoul is actively examining the facts and investigating any export control issues, promising to take necessary measures if any problems are confirmed.
