“The market is indeed large, and many parties are interested in buying Russian oil,” Peskov told TASS.

TASS reported that the governments of Thailand and Sri Lanka have previously announced their intentions to purchase Russian oil. Additionally, according to CNBC, hours after the U.S. announced a temporary relaxation of sanctions on some Russian oil, “buyers have already started lining up to purchase Russian oil”: the Thai government said it is ready for procurement negotiations, Japan is considering, and India will also benefit.

This is not the first time Peskov has responded to this matter.
