Western nations purchased $2 billion worth of Russian oil indirectly through Turkey in a sign of glaring sanctions loopholes.
The U.S., European Union (EU) and its Western allies banned nearly all Russian imports at the start of the war in Ukraine, but countries can still buy Russian fuel if it is first processed in another country.
Oil from three Turkish refineries has generated an estimated $834 million in tax revenues for the Kremlin, according to the report from the Center for the Study of Democracy and the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air.
