Such a move by Turkey came as a surprise to Russian buyers.
The customs service has stopped the clearance of sanctioned goods that are prohibited from being delivered to Russia, blocking their delivery.
This is reported by the publication “Kommersant”.
It is reported that after stopping the transit of sanctioned goods in Russia, they urgently began to look for alternative delivery routes. Market participants said that the Turkish customs service is blocking the sanctioned goods.
“Even yesterday, we began to receive messages from agents that previously agreed deliveries were being canceled. They said that the reason is that goods in transit for Turkey are no longer sent to Russia,” said Georgy Vlastopulo, director of the Russian company Optimalog.
He noted that Turkey began blocking non-Turkish origin sanctioned goods, when the Russians tried to clear the cargo again, the system failed again.
Director of Transasia Logistics Valery Savenkov said that there would most likely be no official statements from Ankara, since then it admits that it had previously allowed the supply of sanctioned goods to Russia.
“Today, the system for processing transit and export to Russia in Turkey does not work,” he added.
A number of the publication's interlocutors link the blocking to the recent visit to Ankara by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. The United States is also increasing pressure on the United Arab Emirates, which has become the center for the supply of sanctioned electronics to Russia.
Recall that earlier, representatives of the United States government and EU heads held a meeting with the heads of companies in the diamond industry and trade on the imposition of sanctions against the diamond industry in Russia .
We also informed that Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, who was previously a member of the Kremlin's inner circle , said that the Russian budget may not have enough money next year if the country does not receive investment from “friendly” countries .
