Russia Imports Gasoline from India Amid Refinery Shortages Caused by Ukrainian Attacks
Russia has imported gasoline from India for the first time due to domestic shortages caused by Ukrainian attacks on its refineries. The initial shipment arrived on August 5, supplied by Indian processor Nayara Energy, which is backed by Russia's Rosneft. The fuel is transported via Russian-linked tankers with transfers off Egypt. This development reflects the severity of Russia's gasoline imbalance and reduced refinery output, alongside continued imports from Belarus and neighboring countries amid global energy market tensions.
