Sri Lanka may have to buy oil from Russia amid economic crisis, says PM
Sri Lanka may be compelled to buy more oil from Russia as the island nation hunts desperately for fuel amid an unprecedented economic crisis, its newly appointed prime minister has said.
Ranil Wickremesinghe said he will look first to other sources, but is open to buying more crude from Moscow. Western nations have largely cut off energy imports from Russia in line with sanctions over its war on Ukraine.
