The report of the Ministry of Finance of Japan indicates the resumption of oil purchases from Russia

14

The Japanese Ministry of Finance has released a report on spending on energy purchases for July. He points out that official Tokyo has actually decided to abandon the sanctions previously imposed on Russian oil. Recall that against the backdrop of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine, the Japanese authorities announced that they were refusing contacts with the Russian Federation on oil purchases. At the same time, Japanese companies announced their withdrawal from the project related to the extraction and liquefaction of natural gas in Sakhalin. Then the same companies announced that they would not leave the Sakhalin-2 project.

Meanwhile, Russia notified the Japanese "partners" that the oil and gas project had already been transferred to another operator.



Against this background, in the report of the Ministry of Finance of Japan, there are figures indicating that Japanese companies have resumed imports of Russian oil. Of course, its volumes are far from last year's values, but nevertheless, the fact remains: Japan has confirmed that at the moment it is not able to replace Russian oil.

It is noteworthy that the reduction in imports from Russia for Japan is significant (compared to July 2021), but in price terms it increased by almost a third. This is due to rising energy prices. Thus, the reduction of oil imports from the Russian Federation for Japan amounted to more than 65%, gas - more than 26 percent, coal - about 40%. In monetary terms, Japan transferred to Russia more than $1,3 billion in July alone, which is 31% more than in the same period last year.

    Russophobia is getting more expensive. I like to bark and "wave" the hegemon, pay.
    Although, you can just think about the consequences before you start barking

        Yes, the share is not small, but Putin, by his decree and subsequent actions, can easily leave them without pants, and they still owe us more. Now it’s our government’s turn whether we leave them in the project. That’s how the Japanese mother died.

    East is a delicate matter! We buy here, we don’t buy here, we impose sanctions here, but we demand islands here, we bypass sanctions here and buy again !!! The Jesuits nervously smoke on the sidelines!

      Japan is a state-occupied country whose government, for trade preferences from the Americans, is pursuing their policy. Japan after World War II, used by the states to destabilize the Far East of the USSR and Russia. The Americans themselves, the Japanese despise.

      - You know, dad, yesterday, right about this time, your friend Fox said wonderful words to me. The most precious thing in the world, he says, is greed and stupidity, because you have to pay the most for it! I wanted to cut down some money in an easy way, so I feel you will feed me enough of them. (c) V. Sharapov "Era of Mercy"

    Business in Japanese - "buy less - pay more."

    Someone should adopt a law that oil cannot be sold to Japan cheaper than (and the figure in words)? And to everyone else with whom we started a long war.

    Not those samurai now, not those.
    Where is hara-kiri? Where is shapoku?
    How to wash away such a shame?
