Rupay depends on Discover/Diners to work internationally. Discover/Diners is based out of USA, hence that doesn't work too. Please carry USD and get it converted.
RuPay also have their native network in Singapore, UAE, Bhutan, Bahrain, Nepal. Maldives, Russia etc coming soon.

RuPay's native network payment settlement in Indian rupees. Visa/master/JCB/Amex/Discover/Diners club payment settlement in foreign currency.

Saw a thread by @Abhishek012 some time back stating that Rupay cards are being accepted at Sberbank ATMs in Russia.
Ya, last time India-Russia testing RuPay card and Mir Card acceptance in India and Russia.

RuPay card/UPI use Nostro and Vostro accounts to trade in Indian Rupee and Russian Ruble. Its still under testing, officially not announced RuPay card is accept in Russia.

Deal done on using cards, UPI & Russian financial messaging system​

Both sides agreed to adopt the Russian financial messaging system — Service Bureau of Financial Messaging System of the Bank of Russia (SPFS) — for cross-border payments.

Another key element of the agreement signed on April 18 during Manturov’s visit to India, is to allow acceptance of Indian RuPay cards and India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) in Russia, and the Russian MIR cards and its Fast Payments System (FPS) in India.

Carry USD. They are very happy converting Dollars. Card Option can be extremely tricky due to sanctions
