Russian oil tankers are diverting from India due to a payment dispute, as a major Russian supplier struggles to accept payments in UAE dirhams. The tankers had been waiting near India and Sri Lanka for about a month, but with the inability of Rosneft's unit to open a UAE bank account, payments for oil shipments have been stalled.
