An Indian oil firm, Nayara Energy, has reportedly sold petroleum to Russia as Ukrainian attacks continue to target oil refineries across the country, triggering a fuel crisis.

On Wednesday, industry sources told Reuters that at least 60,000 metric tonnes of petrol had been dispatched from India to Russia and that two oil tankers, with loads of 30,000 to 40,000 tonnes each, had been sent.

Why would they import oil? They have oil. It's gasoline they need, and the problem is they don't have refineries to produce gas.

The article states that they're importing gasoline. I just learned that petroleum can refer to both crude oil and to products derived from it.
