  1. To quote from the CREA study:

    > In the period assessed, the EU imported 5.16mn tonnes of oil products valued at €3.1bn from the three Turkish ports with no refining hubs—Ceyhan, Marmara Ereglisi and Mersin. In this same assessed year-long period, 86% of the ports’ imports of oil products, in value terms, was from Russia.

    Quite astonishing that it took this long for someone to connect the dots. Everyone involved must have purposely closed their eyes to the blatantly obvious tomfoolery going on.

  2. Turkey is getting to be questionable ally for the west or more because of Erdogan.

  5. Oh let’s not act surprised with a Pikachu face… turkey does what turkey does best: playing both sides for profit… mofos

  6. Don’t hate the player. This is something everybody does when world trade is this much interconnected, that’s why what people actually need to question is the effectiveness of the sanctions as is

    Go ahead and impose them, you’ll only see some new countries exporting things they have never exported before, guess how they got a hold of them in the first place, guess who got them to decide to export. So find a way to track the goods to the source and fine your big business owners properly, they’re the ones having their money travel 5 countries just to pay back 5% less tax to the community that made them big

  7. When mom says we have turkey at home. Turkey at home…

  9. Didn’t they do this with oil from isis controlled fields? Lol

  10. People in the comments are so pathetic lol. If you really think “intellinews” is aware of this, and not your country, then maybe your country is ran on a corrupt system much worse than Turkey. This whole thing is similar how Kazakhstan somehow trades German steel to Russia, or Azerbaijan importing German cars to sell Russians with a mark up. If you think Germany, whom gave up their nuclear energy for Russian coal, isn’t aware of all of this, then you’re in a delusional state of mind.

    Also, y’all ignoring the fact that the oil gets washed through Greece into Europe. Guess which countries’ oil transport literally exploded. Can’t take an educated guess? Greece and Turkey.

  11. Why not? Nothing matters anymore. There are zero consequences for shit like this.

  14. In other words, the western sanctions were made on a premise that the trade with the west is so valuable, Russia would never attack to not lose it. Didn’t work. Then maybe the other countries will fear that? Nah.

    It’s funny, the most vocally anti-Russian countries which ban ordinary Russians from travel, study, entry, buying property and such, like Czechia and Lithuania, boosted trade with countries like Armenia and Kyrgyzstan. Somehow Kyrgyzstan decided to import a lot of premium cars. Nah, not suspicious at all. But I guess that’s less suspicious than [Lithuania selling night vision scopes to Russia](https://www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-english/19/2017444/vilnius-based-company-s-equipment-falls-into-russian-snipers-hands-lrt-investigation)? I’m not even talking about the fact that Ukrainian tanks use Russian diesel… They buy it from Hungary, which imports oil from Russia.

    So in Russian, these sanctions are called сосанкции (sosanktsii). That’s a word made of two: сосать (to suck, implies sucking a dick) and санкции (sanctions). A lot of them are useless and/or can’t be enforced. But the ordinary voter will be happy. Got ‘em. Now since an ordinary Ivan can’t buy a dacha in Finland, Putin’s day are over.

    Ffs

  15. And Europe likes it this way. They get product, Russia gets significantly reduced profits.

  16. And ?

    You guys think the rest of Europe doesn’t know that lmao.

    Europe is BUYING Russian oil directly through proxies such as turkey and India.

    You guys just fall for these headlines every time.

  17. I thought this was common knowledge? The idea of the price caps on Russian oil is to keep the oil flowing but so that Russia doesn’t get profit out of it. Turkey (or India for that matter) can then resell the oil at a higher cost, but this money isn”t going to Russia. See?

  19. Damn, Turkey being the ass end of NATO yet again. Wish we could dump them, but their port into the Black sea is useful. Too bad that’s all they contribute.

  20. So does Mexico, Saudi Arabia and India and about a half dozen other countries.

  21. Same way everyone knows they’re selling scotch to the Russians, this shit isn’t new or surprising.

  24. The people who think the sanctions are toothless need to dig deeper.

    For example Gazprom lost $6.9 billion USD last year.

    It’s their first loss in over 20 years and is a complete turnaround from their record profits before the war.
