Russia is circumventing Western sanctions by importing 200,000 barrels of Japanese aviation fuel through covert ship-to-ship transfers. The practice demonstrates Russia's ability to maintain military operations despite sanctions regimes. The fuel is moved in secret exchanges at sea to avoid detection.
