Turkey replaces Russian oil and diesel imports from US as wars reverberate

Turkey has shifted its crude oil and diesel imports from Russia to the United States, according to recent Turkish customs data. The change in import sources comes as supplies from Russia face disruptions driven by increasing Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy infrastructure.

The shift highlights the broader reverberations of the ongoing wars on global energy trade routes and supply chains, forcing traditional buyers of Russian energy to seek alternative markets to meet their domestic fuel and oil needs.
