Andrii Klymenko, head of the Monitoring Group at the Black Sea Strategic Studies Institute, commented that it is too early to assess the impact of U.S. sanctions on India, one of the two main buyers of Russian oil. The reason tankers carrying Russian oil are not entering Indian ports is that they lack the capacity to accept and process these tankers.
He said that some tankers from the Baltic and Black Seas, which the monitoring group tracks, are not entering the Gulf of Kutch, on the shore of which several major oil ports, terminals, and refineries—Sikka, Vadinar, and Mundra—are located.
“We currently have record volumes of Russian crude oil sea exports,” the head of the monitoring group noted. This contrasts with statements by U.S. President Donald Trump, who imposed sanctions against the Russian oil companies Rosneft and Lukoil.
“As a result of Ukraine’s ‘long-range sanctions’ against Russian refineries, the enemy state was forced to maximize crude oil exports; otherwise, it would have had to plug the wells. Otherwise, there is nowhere to put this bloody oil,” Klymenko wrote.
He noted that although India and China do not believe the U.S. will control sanctions against Rosneft and Lukoil, they “still want to stock up at normal prices and even negotiate a discount” before November 21, when the sanctions officially take effect.
