The officer said that for 40 years, India is relying on Russia to meet the need for arms and crude oil. Now he wants to find other more reliable alternatives. We are helping him in this matter. Both the countries are having serious discussions about this. This will increase India's options to buy arms and crude oil.

Russia's oil exports to Asia

Russia exports its crude oil the most to Asian countries. China and India are the biggest buyers. Russia-Ukraine war is going on for 6 months. Western countries have imposed strict sanctions on Russia. Russia has exported oil at a very low price to save the economy. Taking advantage of this, India has saved about 350 thousand crores. The special thing is that India is paying Russia not in dollars, but in rupees.

India's share in Russian oil purchases has gone up from 1% to 12%. According to Reuters, Russia became India's second largest oil supplier in July.
