Peskov noted the mutually beneficial nature of India's purchases of Russian oil

The sale of Russian oil to India is beneficial to both sides. This was announced on December 5 by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov in an interview with RT.

He noted that India is a major buyer of Russian oil and earns significant funds from this.

"This is very beneficial for India, and, of course, beneficial for us," Peskov said.

The spokesman also stressed that the issue of US duties for India's purchase of oil from the Russian Federation is primarily a problem of bilateral relations between India and the United States.
