Russian oil producer Lukoil has shipped 366,000 barrels, or some 50,000 metric tons of diesel, to Chile’s port of Arica from the Baltic Sea’s port of Vysotsk earlier this month, Kommersant daily reported, citing data from Kpler.

The cargo was delivered for Bolivia’s Yacimientos Petroliferos Fiscales Bolivianos (YPFB), according to the report on Wednesday.

Russia has significantly boosted fuel supplies to Latin America, Africa and Asia after the West introduced sanctions, including price caps and restrictions on Russian oil purchases, over the conflict in Ukraine.

Turkey is now the largest buyer of Russia’s diesel, with imports reaching around 360,000 barrels per day this year, according to the Kommersant report.
