The news mentioned that before the "price limit plan" came into effect, European countries rushed to purchase a batch of Russian oil, which will be delivered to the EU from Russia through Turkey in the previous way. In other words, the oil is outside the exemption range.

It is reported that earlier this month, the EU and the G7 (G7) countries led by the United States and Australia announced a "price limit plan" for Russia, setting the Russian oil circle to US$60 per barrel. The implementation of this sanction order is very interesting: European countries are not allowed to purchase Russian oil with a unit price of more than US$60, and European countries are also prohibited from providing insurance and shipping services for Russian oil prices exceeding US$60 per barrel. The news mentioned that before the "price limit plan" came into effect, European countries rushed to purchase a batch of Russian oil, which will be delivered to the EU through , Turkey, and from Russia in the previous way. In other words, these oils are outside the exemption range.

But last week the Turkish government suddenly introduced a new rule: tankers from all countries that transport cargo through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles that they control must present new insurance certificates and can only pass after acceptance. As a result, several tankers were "detained" near the strait this week because they could not come up with proof. The news mentioned that because some of them were Russian tankers, they could no longer apply for new insurance after the "price limit order" began, which means that this matter could not be resolved. So far, at least 28 oil tankers have been congested in the relevant areas, and these ships have been unable to pass for several days.

htmlOn the 8th, Russian media revealed that the Putin government had begun negotiations with Erdogan, demanding "negotiation to resolve the congestion problem"; the talks have not yet been made public, but Russian media said that they "will take measures to respond if necessary." The supplies carried on some ships are already insufficient after several days of delay, so that the humanitarian crisis may occur if this continues; and the EU has also called Turkey to warn them not to "deliberately blockade" and destroy the crude oil transportation pipeline passing through the Black Sea . The first deputy secretary of the US Treasury also warned Turkey that it "no need to inspect all ships passing through the Turkish Strait ", and that several tankers from Kazakhstan were also detained.

Some analysts believe that Erdogan suddenly made this move at the "ask for a price" and put pressure on both sides at the same time with their geographical location. For Russia, these tankers are no longer able to apply for insurance contracts, which means they cannot deliver them to buyers in time, and other shipping plans will be delayed; the same is true for other European companies that purchase Russian oil. Erdogan intends to achieve some "political purposes", so they have stuck the export of the Bosphorus. After the price limit order was issued, Türkiye only acted as a "spoiler" for some of its own interests.

Also worth mentioning, Turkey has only a simple response to these things: if (oil tanker) is not insured, it will bring uncertainty and huge risks to the shipping of the Turkish Strait, and Turkey "does not accept the means of some ships putting pressure on Türkiye on the grounds of congestion." Russia also said that if the matter cannot be resolved, they will have political participation. There is a comment on this: "Turkey's methods are no longer surprising. Erdogan is very accustomed to taking advantage of some opportunities to "make a big profit". Whether they finally get political benefits or economic promises, they will make sure to make a profit; however, doing this often will reduce their credibility and it will be difficult to gain the trust of other countries in the long run."
