The middleman cuts out the profit for Russia. Not all that bad.

@waeljallad671 Reportedly, Russia isn't all that happy with the glut of rupees. It doesn't know what to do with them, because unlike China, India doesn't have much to export to Russia. Russia could dump them, but India wouldn't appreciate the sudden drop in the rupee's exchange rate.

@BlackHawkTejas Don't flatter yourself. India has a serious trade deficit with Russia. Indian newspapers are full of it.

@skywillfindyou Nothing? Russia sells oil well below Brent crude to India and doesn't know what to do with the rupees it gets. Moreover, Russia's oil revenues are in steady decline. I can't make it any clearer for you than that.

These are not UN sanctions, buddy. Western sanctions.

@Silver_Prussian That's mighty nice for China. China will own Indian assets through their neo-colony Russia.

@abdirahmanahmadalifarah926 Russia needs to flog its oil, no matter what. Even if it means selling below cost, i.e. losing money on the transaction. Russia desperately needs the foreign currency. It's an irrefutable fact that Russia's oil revenues are in constant decline.
