Following recent Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries, Russia is reportedly increasing its demand for petrol imports from India. These attacks have disrupted Russia’s domestic refining capacity, creating supply concerns. Reuters reports that Russian traders are seeking to purchase petrol cargoes for delivery in April and May, aiming to bolster domestic fuel supplies. India has become a key partner for Russia, particularly since Western sanctions limited access to traditional energy markets. This increased demand signals a shift in trade dynamics and highlights Ukraine's success in impacting Russia’s energy infrastructure. The move also underscores Russia’s reliance on alternative suppliers to mitigate the effects of the ongoing conflict and maintain fuel stability within the country.
