A day earlier, Peskov said that Russia has not received any statements from India regarding the cessation of Russian oil purchases. Private Kommersant FM business radio noted that, unlike President Trump, PM Modi did not mention any agreement on stopping Russian oil imports. Igor Yushkov, a leading expert at th
