Will India stop buying Russian oil? Unlikely!

🇷🇺🇮🇳 State-owned refiners in India witnessed a 25% surge in imports of Russian oil in September compared with the previous month, according to energy cargo tracker Vortexa.

📈 This rise has contributed to a almost 10% overall rise in India's imports from Russia.

🌐 These findings add further evidence to suggest that the G7 price cap has not posed a substantial hindrance to India's oil imports.

🚀 Sputnik's 66th anniversary: October 4, 1957 marks the beginning of the space race, when Earth's first artificial satellite was launched into orbit by the Soviet Union.

The orbit was designed so that the Sputnik-1 would fly over Moscow and Washington, covering this distance in about 15 minutes. Long before Chinese balloons made it mainstream, the Sputnik satellite flying over the US literally shocked the country. The New York Times immediately called the launch "one of the world's greatest propaganda and scientific feats."

Sputnik-1's flight was seen all around the world, and the signal sent by it could be heard by any radio amateur anywhere on Earth. The results of the flight gave great impetus to the development of technology, including the Internet.

In this case, it will be up to the United States to decide what to do. Either to go to the Third World War with mutual destruction or leave the Poles to fight Russia alone,” retired Russian Lieutenant General Evgeny Buzhinsky, told the New Rules podcast.
