Japan has reportedly resumed imports of Russian oil after a nine-month hiatus. Tokyo received,706 barrels of Russian crude in January from the Sakhalin-2 oil and gas project, partly owned by Russian's Gazprom and Japanese companies. The deliveries were taken by Japan's Taiyo oil, whose spokesperson said that the cargo was part of the remaining crude volume under its 2022 contract.
