🇮🇳🇷🇺 Tougher US Sanctions Can't Dampen India's Appetite for Russian Coal India's imports of Russian coal in April surged by 33 percent month-on-month (MoM), contrary to expectations of a decline, an Indian commodity trading firm I-Energy said in its report released on Tuesday. 🇺🇸 In February, the US Treasury imposed additional sanctions on Russia's coal industry: ◾️ Siberian Coal Energy Company (SUEK) ◾️ National Payment Card System, which operates the Mir system

📝"There were expectations that additional sanctions by the West on Russian suppliers would impact Russian exports. However, it appears that these sanctions have not significantly affected Indian buying patterns, as import levels have remained more or less the same after the sanctions," I-Energy said in its report.

When will the West realize that these sanction have no effect? Boost us! | Subscribe to @geo_gaganauts
