According to sources familiar with the matter cited by Reuters, despite tight supply conditions caused by tensions in the Middle East, India has still refused to purchase Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) subject to U.S. sanctions. This underscores the delicate balance India, as the world's third-largest oil importer and consumer, faces between securing energy supplies and avoiding imports of LNG sanctioned by the United States. LNG is difficult to disguise, making the risk of violating U.S. sanctions significantly higher. It also indicates that Russia's efforts to sell its LNG to new markets are facing limitations.
