自二月份美以对伊朗发动袭击导致霍尔木兹海峡关闭以来，日本将首次采购俄罗斯原油。贸易部官员周六表示，一艘载有来自俄罗斯“萨哈林-2”项目原油的油轮正驶向日本。资源匮乏的日本旨在实现进口来源多元化，减少对中东的依赖。
日本贸易部官员周六表示，批发商太阳石油公司（Taiyo Oil Co）购买了这批来自俄罗斯远东“萨哈林-2”项目的原油。该项目由俄罗斯国有企业俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司（Gazprom）主导，日本的三菱商事和三井物产持有主要股份。该项目于2008年开始全年原油生产，并于次年开始液化天然气出口。
这批俄罗斯石油不受2022年莫斯科全面入侵乌克兰后美欧所实施制裁的限制。全球船舶追踪网站Marine Traffic显示，该油轮于4月下旬离开萨哈林岛，预计将抵达日本西部的爱媛县。
此举正值日本加紧努力实现供应多元化之际。由于二月份美以对伊朗的袭击导致霍尔木兹海峡实际关闭，严重依赖中东原油进口的日本正寻求降低风险。
