Russia and Pakistan Barter Lentils for Rice Amid Payment Struggles | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Russia and Pakistan have signed a barter deal to trade chickpeas, lentils, rice, and tangerines as cross-border payments become difficult due to Western sanctions on Russia. The agreement, signed at the Pakistan-Russia Trade and Investment Forum, involves the exchange of 20,000 tons of chickpeas for an equal quantity of rice. Russia will also supply lentils in exchange for tangerines and potatoes. This deal highlights the economic pressure both countries face and Russia’s efforts to bypass financial sanctions.
