Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:51:58 GMT

Bulgarian lawmakers on Monday voted in favor of scrapping an exemption to EU sanctions six months early amid outcry that the measure is raising millions for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war effort in Ukraine.The legal change came after POLITICO revealed last month that Bulgaria was letting millions of barrels of Moscow’s oil reach a Russian-owned refinery on its territory, which then exported various refined fuels abroad including to EU countries. Last year, Brussels imposed a bloc-wide ban on Russian seaborne crude imports, but granted Sofia an exemption aimed at protecting local consumers from high fuel prices.Instead, the loophole raised an estimated €983 million for the Kremlin via production and export levies since February. It also generated almost €500 million in profits for refinery owner Lukoil, Russia’s largest private oil firm, according to a classified analysis prepared for Bulgaria’s parliament and seen by POLITICO.In a raucous parliamentary session Mo...
