India's purchases of Russian hydrocarbons benefit both countries and contribute to maintaining stability in global energy markets, with Moscow being ready to deepen ties, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday.
"We are convinced that India's purchase of Russian hydrocarbons is beneficial to both countries and contributes to maintaining stability in the international energy market. We are ready to continue close cooperation in this area with our partners in India," Zakharova said at a briefing.
Moscow sees no sign India is rethinking its stance in energy cooperation, Zakharova said, commenting on US President Donald Trump's claim that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi agreed to stop buying Russian oil.
Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reiterated that Russia has not heard any statements from India about stopping its Russian oil imports and that bilateral relations continue to be pursued, while independent reporting notes that Russia remains a major supplier and New Delhi has not formally altered its longstanding import strategy in response to external pressure.
