Proposed route could run through Turkmenistan, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan to offer Russia an alternative trade corridor to India
Russia will not release crude oil export data to India, citing numerous 'ill-wishers.' This follows a US waiver allowing Indian refiners to purchase Russian oil amidst Middle East conflict, and reports of Russia ready to increase supplies to India and China.
