Russia seeks Indian investment in its oil and gas sector

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Russia urged India to deepen its investments in the sanction-hit country's oil and gas sector, and is keen on expanding the sales networks of Russian companies in Asia's third-largest economy.
Russia's economy faces its deepest crisis since the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, as the West imposes severe sanctions over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
Some western allies have encouraged India to condemn Russia's actions in Ukraine, after New Delhi abstained from voting against Moscow, a long-standing arms supplier, at the United Nations.
"Russia's oil and petroleum product exports to India have approached $1 billion, and there are clear opportunities to increase this figure," said Russia's Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, according to a statement shared by Russia's embassy in India late on Friday.
"We are interested in further attracting Indian investment to the Russian oil and gas sector and expanding Russian companies' sales networks in India," Novak told Indian Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri.
The United States this week banned Russian oil imports and Britain said it will phase them out by year end, decisions expected to further disrupt the global energy market, where Russia is the second-largest exporter of crude.
Indian state-run companies hold stakes in Russian oil and gas fields, while Russian entities including Rosneft own a majority stake in Indian refiner Nayara Energy. Some Indian companies also buy Russian oil.
Russia expects both countries to continue cooperation on civilian nuclear power, including building new units at a nuclear power plant in the south Indian town of Kudankulam, Novak said.

India is a COWARD for putting PROFIT AHEAD of PRINCIPLES when crimes against humanity are being facilitated by India's complicity. -- India's NOT STANDING UP FOR what is good and right in society and providing the fuel for Russia's continued crimes against humanity by Putin and his gangsters IS NOT a way for India of BRINGING its house onto the right path to catch up to its future of becoming a successor to China's manufacturing power base. -- Russia's Distorting the truth and making people placing faith in Putin, a leader they have been brainwashed to trust in, to their ultimate detriment (young Russian soldiers made to believe they're going into a war exercise, and their mothers not being provided evidence of their soldier sons' demise) is NOT good company for India and is NOT a virtue that India should associate itself with.

Don't think India can overcome its hurdles any day soon (the Caste system is completely blocking India's path forward / Cows on the road having precedence over COMMON SENSE / Male family members being able to cause severe crimes onto their daughter or sister due to some SILLY old habit that makes zero sense)

if Indians stop working America will be fine. still enough talented people from Mexico and all of Asia to keep us straight. ironically that's the thing about America that used to make it desirable. accepting of and dependant on people from anywhere, who would make it better by contributing and working hard and in exchange for a particular a set of freedoms that at least gave them the opportunity for success.. but that's been forgotten. It's also not to say the countries leaders aren't seriously immoral, incompetent and corrupted
