Russia Imports Indian Gasoline to Address Domestic Fuel Shortages
Russia has received at least one 68,000-tonne gasoline shipment from India amid domestic fuel shortages caused by Ukrainian drone attacks on its oil refineries. The cargo, loaded at India's Vadinar port, was discharged at Russia's Vitino port and is being transported by rail to domestic buyers. Russia has implemented measures including fuel import bans and rail imports from neighboring countries to stabilize its market. Additional gasoline shipments from India are expected in the coming weeks, according to industry sources and shipping data.
