Georgian ports Kulevi and Batumi allegedly facilitating Russian oil exports to EU

A report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) alleges that Georgian ports are exploiting regulatory loopholes to export €1.2 billion in refined fuels containing Russian oil to the EU. The findings suggest a systematic circumvention of Western sanctions, though the extent of regulatory non-compliance remains subject to verification.

EU Sanctions Target Russian Oil Exports via Georgia, Crypto Evasion, and Shadow Fleet

The EU has escalated sanctions against Russia, specifically targeting oil exports via Georgian ports, cryptocurrency-based evasion, and Russia's 'shadow fleet'. While the EU has confirmed deferred sanctions on a Georgian refinery processing Russian crude, allegations of widespread circumvention via Georgian ports remain subject to verification. These measures aim to close existing loopholes and tighten economic pressure on Russia.
