We want it like India..! Pakistan's demand with Russia..!?
Pakistan has expressed its willingness to buy oil from Russia. After the conflict between russia and Ukraine, western countries have been demanding to avoid buying fuel including oil from Russia. Some countries have already stopped buying oil from Russia. But russia also announced an offer of cheap oil to avoid that loss. Due to this, india and china have been buying oil from russia at discounted rates. Although this has caused dissatisfaction among Western countries, Western countries are in a situation where they cannot say anything openly. However, now every country is showing interest in buying oil from Russia.
India, Sri Lanka, and pakistan have already shown interest in buying oil. Now pakistan has also openly expressed interest in this regard. It has also asked that it should be given at a concessional price like it is being given to India. While Pakistan's economy has seen a major downturn, inflation is rampant there. To make it worse, pakistan has been hit by bad floods in recent months. As a result, the price, which was already at its peak, is now in a worsening environment. It is in such a difficult situation that the government of pakistan has shown interest in buying oil at discounted prices like India.
In the report given by pakistan regarding this, they think that the western countries will understand the losses due to the floods in Pakistan. So that they understand them. Pakistan's Finance minister Ishaq Dar has said that they think they will not object to this. A few days ago, US President Joe Biden said that pakistan is the most dangerous country in the world.
He also said that the country has nuclear weapons without any coordination. This caused great uproar among the nations of the world. pakistan has also summoned the US ambassador for an explanation.
Meanwhile, pakistan has shown interest in buying oil from Russia. While this is further seen as a positive for russia, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has reached a critical stage. pakistan is the 35th largest importer of crude oil. It is noteworthy that it imported crude oil worth about USD 1.92 billion in 2020-21.
