MOSCOW, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Urals crude differentials to dated Brent kept steady on Wednesday as middlemen supplying Russian oil were not offering cargoes due to new U.S. sanctions targeting Russian producers and vessels, according to the finance chief at Indian refiner Bharat Petroleum.
India has allowed Russian insurer Soglasie Insurance Company to provide marine cover to tankers entering Indian ports, according to Indian ship regulator's website, as New Delhi wants steady supply of cheaper Russian oil despite latest U.S. sanctions.
Under the former Biden administration, the U.S. Treasury on Friday imposed sanctions on Russian oil producers Gazprom Neft and Surgutneftegas, as well as 183 vessels that have shipped Russian oil, targeting the revenues Moscow has used to fund its war with Ukraine.
