Nayara Energy, an Indian oil firm, is reportedly supplying petroleum to Russia amidst ongoing Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil facilities. Industry sources told Reuters that at least 60,000 metric tonnes of petrol, produced by Nayara Energy, have been dispatched to Russia via traders. These shipments come as Ukrainian forces have repeatedly targeted Russian refineries, causing fuel shortages and rationing across Russia. While Nayara Energy has not confirmed the sales, India's Oil Minister suggested it's "possible" that Russia purchased Indian-origin fuel through international traders. The Ukrainian campaign against Russian energy infrastructure has led to over 50 reported attacks since March, impacting refineries, depots, and terminals.
