The G7 countries are seeking India’s support to enforce a price cap on Russian oil. But Moscow seems to be a step ahead. Russia is now willing to provide petroleum to India at even lower rates than before, The Business Standard reported today.
“In principle, the ask in return is that India should not support the G7 proposal. A decision on this issue will be taken later following talks with all the partners,” the newspaper quoted a foreign ministry official as saying.
Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US constitute the G7. They are looking to choke Russia’s crude oil revenue streams used to fund the Ukraine war.

A dangerous heat wave is raising the risk of blackouts in the state on top of perennial drought and fires. And now, after enduring record pump prices in June that were much higher than the national average, Californians face surging gasoline costs again at the end of the summer travel season when they typically fall.
Pump prices jumped by more than 5 cents a gallon overnight in San Francisco and Sacramento, according to auto club AAA, and record wholesale premiums signal they could rise further. At the state level, retail prices average $5.306 a gallon, almost 3 cents more than the previous day.
