NYT: Turkey, India and Brazil have multiplied supplies from Russia since February

The total volume of deliveries from Russia after the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions fell sharply, but some countries increased imports. The leader in supplies from the Russian Federation is India (+413%), Turkey is in second place (+213%), Brazil is third (+166%). Germany also raised imports by 38%. It follows from the data of the newspaper The New York Times.

The NYT did not specify which goods it was talking about. Formerly The Economic Times informedthat India, after China, has taken the second position in terms of purchases of Russian oil – 23% in October.

Belgium (+130%), Spain (+112%), China (+98%), the Netherlands (+74%), Japan (+40%) also increased their supplies.

Only Turkey (+113%) and China (+24%) increased exports to Russia. Western countries have reduced supplies to the Russian Federation: Great Britain – by 71%, the Netherlands – by 52%, Germany – by 51%, Spain – by 44%.

Since the beginning of Russia’s special operation in Ukraine, Western countries have been imposing anti-Russian sanctions. In March, the US refused to buy Russian oil. The UK has announced that it will stop importing oil and LNG from Russia from the beginning of 2023. In August, EU countries stopped importing Russian coal. Since spring, Western countries have been discussing the introduction of a ceiling on oil prices from Russia. According to Bloomberg, the US and EU may set a “freely manageable” cost, causing the price to be higher than previously expected.
