Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia remains a key energy supplier to India, stressing that the decline in New Delhi's imports of Russian energy due to US sanctions is only temporary.
At a press conference today, Peskov confirmed that Moscow plans to increase energy supplies to India, emphasizing the importance of establishing trade mechanisms that are not affected by external pressure. He also pointed to Moscow's experience in conducting trade under sanctions, according to Reuters.
This comes as India's purchases of Russian oil fell to their lowest level in three years this month, after Washington imposed sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil, Moscow's two largest oil producers.
