Russia has oil, so why is it importing petrol from India

Russia, despite being one of the world's largest crude oil producers, is experiencing petrol shortages due to damage to its oil refineries caused by Ukrainian drone strikes. Reports indicate that petrol stations in Moscow have imposed purchase limits, with some restricting sales to 30-60 litres per vehicle. The issue stems from the disruption of refining capacity rather than a lack of crude oil supply. Ukrainian attacks on refineries such as the NORSI facility in Nizhny Novgorod have significantly impacted fuel production capabilities. While Russia continues to produce large quantities of crude oil daily, the inability to process it into finished products like petrol has led to shortages at the retail level.
