Russian oil product finds unexpected top buyer – Taiwan has imported nearly $5 billion worth of naphtha from the sanctioned country while supporting Ukraine, report claims
Taiwan became the largest global importer of Russian naphtha during the first half of 2025, according to a report released Wednesday by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA).
CREA also said some importers had paid above the G7-imposed $45-per-barrel cap on seaborne Russian naphtha, potentially exposing them to secondary sanctions.
