Russian President Vladimir Putin is likely to attend the BRICS summit scheduled in September in India, according to Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko. Speaking in Colombo, he said Moscow would support New Delhi’s efforts to build consensus among member nations. He also confirmed that Russia will honour all existing oil export contracts despite its decision to ban gasoline exports from April 1 due to price fluctuations. The assurance comes amid global energy uncertainty, signalling Russia’s intent to maintain reliability in ongoing commitments while managing domestic market pressures through export restrictions on refined fuel supplies.
