Imran Khan's Failed Attempt to Secure Cheap Russian Crude Oil Like India

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan praised India's foreign policy and lamented that his government could not purchase cheap Russian crude oil like India due to a no-confidence motion. Talks between Pakistan and Russia for the trade of oil have been ongoing since last year, but no deal has been brokered yet. Pakistan is facing an economic crisis, and the deal could ease some of its fiscal trouble as the country is a net importer of energy.
