What happened
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on India, China, and Turkey to halt energy trade with Russia, arguing that Moscow relies on these countries to sustain its economy. India's imports of Russian oil dropped 16.5% month-on-month in August to approximately 2.1 million barrels per day. Preliminary data suggests India's Russian oil imports may fall to 1.9 million barrels per day in September.
