"Indonesia's inclusion in BRICS, along with Prabowo’s proactive diplomatic engagements with both the US and Russia, has created an opportunity for the country to purchase Russian oil without facing the threat of sanctions," Yudha noted.

Indonesia Clinches Discounted Russian Oil Deal - Energy Council

"Indonesia has gained the opportunity to buy Russian oil at a discount... Previously, Indonesia faced serious obstacles in conducting transactions with Russia, which has been under US sanctions since 2022," Yudha said.The situation changed after the inauguration of Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto.Earlier, in April 2026, Russia and Indonesia reached an agreement as part of a broader plan to purchase 150 million barrels of Russian oil by the end of the year. According to officials, this arrangement will enable Indonesia to secure all types of fuel — from diesel to various grades of gasoline.
