๐๏ธ CREA recommends:
โ๏ธ Tackle loopholes & gaps in sanctions
โ๏ธ Tackle โshadowโ fleet - Russian fossil fuel revenues
โ๏ธ Establish 'Know Your Customer (KYC)' standards for EU tanker sales
โ๏ธ Cut off all G7+ services that facilitate transport of Russian hydrocarbons globally
โ ๏ธ Refining loophole flows contract, but uneven sanctions continue to allow steady flows globally
๐ฆ๐บ Australia was single largest oil product importer among sanctioning countries, purchasing estimated EUR 1.6 bn of imports refined from Russian crude
๐บ๐ธ USA was 2nd at EUR 799 mn
๐ฉ False flagging has become circumvention strategy in 4th year of full-scale invasion
โ๏ธ'Shadow' vessels operating with false flags grew from 12 in Jan. 2025 to peak of 109 in Oct.โover 9-fold increaseโthen dropped as ships registered directly under Russian flag began to rise
๐ข Yet, Russia's crude export volumes remain 6% above pre-invasion levels โ highlighting reliance on โshadowโ vessels
By 4th quarter of 2025, sanctioned tankers carried over 60% of Russia's seaborne crude exports โ showing how Russia remains dependent on sanctioned tankers
๐ท๐บ NEW | REPORT | 4 YEARS OF WAR: Russian fossil fuel revenues tank to 27% below pre-invasion levels

๐๏ธ CREA highlights the need for stronger enforcement of sanctions, detention of tankers flying a false flag and a ban on maritime services used to transport all Russian fossil fuels
โ๏ธ๐ข In January 2026, Franceโs LNG imports from Russia saw massive 57% month-on-month increase
๐ฉ ๐ข 21% of Russian oil travelled on tankers flying false flags (EUR 268 mn) that transited Danish Straits โ carried by 9 vessels
In January, the top EU importers were:
๐ซ๐ท France
๐ญ๐บ Hungary
๐ง๐ช Belgium
๐ธ๐ฐ Slovakia
๐ช๐ธ Spain
๐ฎ๐ณ ๐ Indiaโs Russian crude imports continued to decrease, dropping further to 12% in January
๐ข๏ธThis drop reflects no imports to Jamnagar refinery, likely as a result of OFAC sanctions on Rosneft
๐จ๐ณ โ ๏ธ While Chinaโs total seaborne crude imports saw 10% month-on-month decrease in January, imports from Russia saw 18% rise
In January 2026, the top importers of RU fossil fuels were:
