Fresh US sanctions on Moscow threaten to dent Russian oil sales to India, the biggest buyer of Russian seaborne crude, and complicate efforts by Indian state refiners to secure annual supply deals, three industry sources familiar with the matter said.

The use of money for good and bad has a long history.

“With cheap gas, electricity, water, and a strong economy, Russia can withstand thousands of sanctions,” says a video posted today (July 31, 2022) on the verified Facebook page of the Russian Embassy in Bangladesh.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said that no country should be “controlled or punished” by imposing sanctions as has been the case of Western sanctions against Russia, due to which people around the world are suffering.
