India's state oil refiners stop buying Russian crude oil due to U.S. pressure over Ukraine.

Indian state oil refiners have halted Russian crude oil purchases due to narrowed discounts and warnings from the US President, posing supply risks and potential higher crude costs. India, as a major importer of Russian oil, is now seeking alternatives from Middle Eastern and West African suppliers. Private refiners continue buying Russian oil, but the shift reflects international pressure against Russian energy imports.
