Russia has begun importing gasoline from India to tackle worsening fuel shortages caused by repeated Ukrainian drone attacks on its oil refineries. The strikes have disrupted refining operations, leading to fuel rationing, long queues at petrol stations, and record-high domestic gasoline prices across several Russian regions. Industry sources say India has already shipped around 60,000 tonnes of gasoline, with additional cargoes expected as Russia plans to import nearly 400,000 tonnes monthly. The move highlights the growing impact of the war on Russia's energy infrastructure and underscores India's expanding role as a key fuel supplier during the ongoing crisis. (PC: India Today)
