Ukrainian customs authorities are preparing to completely block imports of any petroleum products from Romania that arrive in Ukraine by water. Specifically, no oil shipments from Romanian ports will be allowed to reach Ukraine and unload their cargo there. After doing the same thing about a year ago with imports from Turkey, Bulgaria and Moldova, now politicians corrupted by local oligarch interests want to totally block imports of any kind of oil products from Romania and Georgia by water. Behind this decision is the Ukrainian company UKRNAFTA, which has a number of influential local oligarchs as shareholders and has succeeded in imposing its business agenda in the political strategy of the Zelenski government. Betting on Ukrainian national interests, but especially on the monopoly that their companies can have on all oil imports into their country, the Ukrainian businessmen influenced a decision in this regard with large sums of money.
