ہمیں پہلے کیا معلوم تھا
- Rosneft, Gazprom Neft and Lukoil approached Indian refiners for gasoline in early July 2026, and at least one cargo had sailed for Russia via traders.

- Putin publicly acknowledged queues at petrol stations but described the situation as "not critical" and "temporary."
تب تک حل طلب
- Whether Indian refiners can sustain meaningful volumes to Russia, or whether early shipments are one-off triage.
- Which share of Russian refining capacity is truly offline — sources range from "a significant portion" to 40 percent.
- How the State Duma subsidy framework will be priced, and who ultimately absorbs the cost.
جس پر نظر رکھنے کا ہم نے کہا تھا
- Whether July and August driving-season demand forces Russia to widen the import bridge beyond India — and at what point the queues in Moscow become politically unsustainable.
