When Imran went to Russia, in order to procure oil, he was thrown out of power through a soft coup by the all powerful. Now this enforced government is ready to get laurels for Russian oil.
Pakistan will receive its first trial shipment of crude oil from Russia next month in April 2023. If the single-cargo test shipment is successful and results in an oil import deal, Moscow, which has already offered to export up to 100,000 barrels of oil. of crude oil per day, will emerge as the second largest supplier of crude oil to Islamabad.
Russia has agreed to receive payments in Russian rubles, Japanese yen or UAE dirhams in exchange for oil supplies that will contain “blended oil”, a more refined version of pure Russian crude for which Pakistan does not have the required refining capacity.
Talks between the Pakistani and Russian governments, which began during the Khan administration in February 2022, are ongoing for subsidized prices of up to 30 percent for imports.
Our high powered idiots in the government donot know that India, the world’s third-largest crude importer after China and the United States, has been snapping Russian oil that was available at a discount after some in the West shunned it as a means of punishing Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine. India’s imports of crude oil from Russia soared to a record 1.6 million barrels per day in February and is now higher than combined imports from traditional suppliers Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
An the famous soft coup happened to punich Imran Khan for going to Russia to talk oil. This is a country of paradoxes.
