In an effort to stabilize domestic supplies, Russia recently imported around 30,000 metric tons of AI-92 gasoline by sea from Morocco, Reuters reported on July 31, citing industry sources. According to the report, the shipment was delivered aboard a Panama-flagged tanker that loaded fuel at the Moroccan port of Tangier in mid-July before arriving at the Arctic port of Murmansk.

All the way to Murmansk? Obviously Novorossiysk is out, but even the Baltic ports aren't safe? That's unfortunate.

Russia's Baltic ports also get the drone treatment, so they might be weary of their precious gas... But that shipment is that's the real news here.
