The conversation comes amid heightened trade tariff tensions between India and the US, and the allegations that India’s oil purchases from Russia are indirectly empowering Moscow to maintain its stance against Ukraine. The Ministry of External Affairs has reiterated and detailed how the US has been unfairly targeting and singling out India for purchasing oil from Russia in their reply, pointing out that China and several other nations follow similar strategies as well.
