The situation with the introduction of US sanctions against Russian oil infrastructure is developing rapidly, but in different places - at different rates and in different directions. As we remember, the largest buyer of Russian oil was alternately China and India, and if China has powerful political interests in this matter that influence the nature of the reaction, then India adheres to commercial interests, and, as it turned out, the customs tariffs imposed by Trump for the fact that Indians buy gigantic quantities of this oil did not outweigh the commercial benefits from refining and further.
The following is the text in the original language. But now the costs of being on the sanctions list are becoming unpleasant, and the Indians are starting to turn their stern. Please note that various sources want to write about the fact that representatives of Indian oil refineries are currently exploring options for extracting oil from other oil tanks.. Getting rid of refining naphtha is not a problem, but the problem lies in the fact that naphtha products can then be removed from Russian oil. Plus, it is entirely possible to lose access to important, and sometimes critical, components for refineries, which cannot be denied through sanctions. Therefore, you should receive the following information:.

So in India the process is already progressing, and in addition to one thing, refineries are decided to belong to non-Russian companies, and they, in principle, can change their bosses simply on the basis of the balance of expenses and profits. Obviously, after the introduction of sanctions, this balance began to shift from the consumption of Russian naphtha itself, and factories began to switch to naphtha from other countries. There is a lot of soil on the right there, where the bast shoes came from the power of the oil refinery and the burning infrastructure and the settlement there.
This is what happened to Serbia. There, the “brothers” gladly and generously gave this infrastructure to the bast shoes, and now the situation there is becoming even more dangerous. Let's face it, this infection looks like it might be a catastrophe, and together with various snakes, it could come literally in the next few days.
Thus, the Serbian naphtha company NIS, which is 55% owned by Gazprom and Gazprom Neft, can take over the work of the only oil refinery in the region for the future. At the beginning of the year, after the numerical increases that the companies received from the Donald Trump administration, NIS has a Volodya oil refinery near the town of Pancevo near Belgrade, as well as at least 350 gas stations throughout the country,.
Well, here is the food for the principle, and since the sanctions were adopted, and the work of the enterprise was almost always in progress, then the decision should have been praised for a long time. It is clear that the bast shoes have pulled to the rest and are now following the principle “Either our nafta, or none”. And what’s more, such behavioral tactics are not new. This is how the situation with gas developed, when Gazprom itself flared up a trade war against Europe.
