A harsh exposé by The Washington Post casts doubt on the supervision—or lack thereof—of President Joe Biden’s administration.
“Forbidden Russian oil flows into the Pentagon supply chain,” The foreboding, exclusive piece alerted readers from the outset.

The study and its provocative headline stem from two main issues:
- Russian oil imports were collectively banned by the U.S. and the European Union in March 2022 as a response to the country’s war with Ukraine, per The Post.
- A Greek refinery that serves the U.S. military claimed it adapted to these new sanctions — but apparently did not.
The Washington Post reveals a shocking research that reveals the Motor Oil Hellas plant in Greece is continuously importing Russian petroleum, a violation of the sanctions that will take effect in 2022.
Remarkably, Motor Oil Hellas did not pump the purportedly illicit oil using a sophisticated and intricate process.
The Post claims that the refinery redirected the illicit product “hundreds of miles out of the way through an oil storage facility in Turkey,” a diversion that the publication said “obscured Russia’s imprint as ownership of the products changed hands multiple times before they reached Greece.”

See the damning evidence that The Post has unearthed: a clear paper trail linking a compromised product to the Pentagon, led by Biden. Remarkably, “federal contracting data” shows that the government agency approved contracts worth up to $1 billion with Motor Oil Hellas in March of last year, despite the imposition of wartime penalties.
Since February 2022, Motor Oil Hellas has provided one million barrels of jet fuel to organizations in Italy, France, Spain, and the United Kingdom. It’s important to note that grantees include France and Italy, two of the EU’s founding countries.
ALERT! Major Water Restrictions In Effect!
These organizations are accused of buying oil that is sanctioned by using an intermediary, which has led to several accusations.

The source was informed by a Pentagon Defense Logistics Agency official that they had “no knowledge” of any prohibited Russian gasoline being discovered at a contractual supplier.
Motor Oil Hellas strongly contests these claims.
The refinery provided The Post with a statement, stating that the business “does not buy, process or trade Russian oil or products. All its imports are certified of non sanctioned origin.”
It’s unclear what will happen in this obviously complex and wide-ranging affair, but the Washington Post did observe that the application of relevant punishments has “been scant.”
“The U.S. military has not done its due diligence on the origin of this oil,” The Post was informed by Isaac Levi, an analyst with a European NGO that monitors the movement of Russian oil. “It is not hard to see where it is coming from.”
Biden has a headache he knows well.
Up until America accepted the European Union’s decision, the Biden administration vehemently opposed penalties.
Republicans were compelled by Biden’s wavering on the oil sanctions to propose the “Independence from Russian Energy Act” in March 2022.
The difficulties facing Biden in his reelection campaign are exacerbated by his most recent headache, with former President Donald Trump trailing closely behind.
Donald Trump trailing closely behind? Don’t think so.
