South Korea investigates fuel shipments to Russia
South Korea said it would take legal action if an investigation found that fuel shipments from its ports to Russia violated domestic law, the Guardian and France 24 reported. The inquiry followed reporting that thousands of tonnes had been transported. The RSS material did not name the companies involved or state when findings were expected.
Why it matters
The investigation tests Seoul’s enforcement of restrictions linked to Russia and could add friction to relations with Moscow.
