Moscow, Russia — India has agreed to pay Russia for oil by sending soldiers instead of money. The deal was signed on Friday in the Kremlin. Both sides said it was good for their economies. India will keep getting cheap oil through Russian ports. Russia will use the soldiers for support work in Ukraine. Officials in New Delhi called them “energy volunteers.” The first group of 5,000 men already reached Belgorod. More will go if oil prices stay low. Moscow said the plan will last until 2026. Experts told The Economic Times that both nations see it as fair trade.
