I wonder if we have any braincells left to catch even this not-so-subtle irony of the year so far of 2024.

I mean agar kal koi bol de ki elections are a foreign concept aur humari sanskriti mein elections nahi hota, idiots will find naradsmriti ke verses on being good prajas to justify it. Par khair.

Russian oil tankers bound for India are turning around amid scuffle over payments to Moscow

Jennifer Sor Tue, January 2, 2024

• Russian oil tankers are turning away from India amid disagreements over payment.

• The tankers had been hovering near the shores of India and Sri Lanka for about a month.

• India is paying for Russian oil in UAE currency, but one major supplier has been unable to accept payment.

Russian oil ships drifting near India's shores have begun to turn away amid unresolved payment disputes between the two countries.

According to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg, five oil tankers carrying Sokol oil, which have been idling close to India and Sri Lanka for about a month, are now headed eastward toward the Malacca Straight.

Another Russian ship — the NS Century — is still drifting near the shores of Sri Lanka. The tanker has been idling for over a month as Indian officials mull over whether to let the ship unload its cargo, Bloomberg previously reported.

The turnaround comes as Indian refiners are paying for oil with Russia in dirhams, the currency of the United Arab Emirates, people familiar with the matter told Reuters last week. But a unit of Rosneft, one of Russia's state-run oil giants, hasn't been able to open a bank account in the UAE, meaning it's unable to accept payment, sources added.

As of October, India had at least seven oil shipments from Russia that hadn't been paid, Reuters originally reported.

India is also under pressure to remain on good terms with the US, which sanctioned the NS Century late in 2023 for trading oil with Russia above the $60 per barrel price cap. Those restrictions are part of the West's attempt to ramp up pressure on Russia's energy revenue that it is using to fund its war against Ukraine.

India has become one of Russia's largest oil customers since the invasion of Ukraine began in 2022. Russia now exports nearly all of its oil to China and India, Russia's deputy prime minister said last week – though shipments to India have recently stalled on payment issues. Russian oil exports in India cratered in December, with Indian refiners receiving no Sokol crude that month at all, according to Kpler data cited by Bloomberg.

Lol we buy oil from wherever we can source legally at the lowest rates. Given how volatile oil prices are, our import mix can shift quickly. Is that a problem too?

And as you should know, NS century flies under the russian flag. So lets not be making out as if US sanctioned an Indian enterprise.

Nathu Thank-you for bringing this into awareness. The cases against women, children and men should be brought forward. Sometimes humans live in their own bubble and have no idea of how ugly the world can be outside of it.

I got a warning for posting tweets where women were threatened with rape and violence for supporting Palestine and Nathu was against it not long ago and probably even reported it. Tweet was deleted and I was slapped with a warning and told my tweets provoked people on the forum since the guy making this treats was an Indian. I’m not sure but I believe Nathu was one of the people who reported that post therefore I don’t believe he’s trying to bring awareness to crimes against women. It’s definitely agenda driven cause even if he didn’t report it he was in favour of the action that was taken. I know this cause he liked the comments of the person that was directly arguing with me about that specific tweet saying I posted it to defame ALL Indians .

Why am I not surprised? Nobody can post any news that shows India even in a slightly negative light on that forum. You will get a warning or be banned right away if you are a newbie etc. But you will find tons of posts on there bashing Canada, Germany, Muslim majority countries, and now of course Maldives. Nothing happens to those posts. That place has become an echo chamber. No wonder it’s a ghost town.

it's important to highlight issues of women safety wherever they are. Totally acknowledge that India too has problems and that we need to do better in that regard.

that said, why so much mirchi when someone is pointing out those issues about Maldives?

Men highlighting women * wink*

Stop spreading false information and personal attacks. I never support posts against rape be it any country or anyone.

Edit - I may not have reported the post u r talking about but reporting this one. Hope action is taken against you.
