EU sanctions on Russia oil: Indian oil refiner Nayara Energy CEO Alessandro des Dorides resigns; Russia-backed refinery key fuel retailer

Nayara Energy, an Indian oil refiner backed by Russia, has appointed Sergey Denisov as its new CEO, succeeding Alessandro des Dorides, who resigned due to EU sanctions targeting the company’s ties with Rosneft. Despite EU pressure, Nayara remains a key private-sector refiner and fuel retailer in India, with New Delhi distancing itself from the EU’s actions.
