TOKYO -- Japan's top oil refiners Eneos Holdings and Idemitsu Kosan are halting Russian crude oil imports after the fulfillment of current contracts, as sanctions on Russia have made it hard to conduct business and also as companies come under pressure to boycott the country.
Idemitsu said it would cease to buy Russian crude oil due to "concerns about logistics and payment disruptions," the company's spokesperson told Nikkei Asia.
