U.S. officials have said in recent weeks they would like India to distance itself from Russia as much as possible, while recognizing its heavy reliance on Moscow for everything from arms and ammunition to missiles and fighter jets. India has not condemned the invasion of Ukraine and abstained from voting at the United Nations calling out Russia's aggression. Russia calls its actions in Ukraine a"special operation" to demilitarize and"denazify" the country.
Apart from oil, India is also looking for cheaper fertilizer from Russia and its ally Belarus, according to one of the officials.'Complicated history'Indian officials said they could not suddenly replace Russia with other suppliers, particularly in the defense sector.India's dependence on Russia for its military hardware still runs as high as 60%, despite a significant reduction over the last decade.U.S.
And then they sell it back to the U.K. / Europe perhaps and so no one batting an eye. Countries seen to have carried out sanctions but bringing it in via a back door?
Oh course India hope they choke on the russians blood oil and gas. India is extremely backward in its own country humanity and democracy. How much human rights violations and humane trafficking. Yes don’t expect anything better.
If US can sell the oil and gas at same price as Russia , India will by it Why should any country listen to america when they themselves are not bear the cost of their own sanctions
…and it’s payback for our past friendship with Pakistan during the hunt for OBL.
Well we will stop buying ?from India,what do they export disease and overpopulation,oh and goat head cheese.Good riddance,asteroid is comeing to an India near you.
Nothing surprising regarding the Government of India .. what I saw on TV when coronavirus hit India 🤬🤬🤬.. Remember this 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
U mfk ing snakes!!!
That probably mean the EU will buy the stuff off India
Someday India will need the world to stand by her, & the world will remember
MvmvnnbmbnnmcbCm
Fuck them all... they can drink it with vodka and all DIE!!! Like many innocent Ukrainians are dying 😞😔
Well then I think it’s time to sanction India
If India does, then the world need to immediately cut all ties with India …..!
Very sensible strategic economic decision by India The Indian gov't has a responsibility to it's people & to guarantee the prosperity of their country
Good job india, now you have the courage to stand up against the oppressors, the west needs india more than india needs the west.
Well, it would be nice for European and US company to dump Indian software developers and pay their own. By all means Indians deliver mostly garbage.
Disgraceful and war money continue!
I think India needs to be re democratized like the rest of the arabs .
Please, close the sky over Ukraine. Help for us, we are dieing right now...right at this moment
Blood oil and shame on India
Sanctions on India seem to be called for.
Do it India , nobody should dictate who and how you do business for the good of your country
I can understand. When money is scarce, you need to cut corners...
I hope POTUS can sanction india. Plz help india make the right choice so that india can get rid of meta, google & other harmful US products.
Which currency do they use, Indian Rupee or Russian Ruble?
Indians are savvy.
Poor cheap and smart Indian
We watch mass murder and do nothing. World leaders sit in safety whilst children die on the streets. Whilst the leaders hide & seek power Children want friends and freedom to explore the world not suffer. What will it take to stop these crimes and murder? Membership or money
Boycott indian products and buy pakistani ones. That's a simple answer for the western countries.
Russia War grip on Ukraine is far from ending which in turn will impact other parts of the World. US Allies Sanctions will keep the war in Ukraine alive. 'Compromise & agreements' to 'ceasefire' may work. The Will to stop Russia-Ukraine War lacks 'leadership' Jai Shree Ram🇫🇯
Time to boycott india
Those dirty Indians will do anything for attention
The Indian government seem to have forgotten its roots; how it won its freedom through righteous acts. Ukraine is seeking freedom from an oppressor....Where does India stand?
What about South Africa? Petrol prices is sky high and PresidencyZA is in bed with Putin. Wonder why the thick as thieves buddies didnt make a deal yet. MYANC is clearly backing Russia? IOL ewnupdates SABCNews
No more Papadum for me. India is not a real democracy. There are restrictions to freedom of speech as it relates to religion where if you are critical of Hinduism you can go to jail. I wanted to visit but that will not happen now. India is a scary country now.
Short term gains, long term losses it seems.
Because Dollar under US control and Euro under EU control and both are allies in promulgated sanction. There is another currency Yuan and barter system is there, which are free of sanction.
India clearly can't read the room
Means trade with murderer
Sanction india otherwise sacrifice Ukraine . Indian’s trade with Russian will fuel Russian inaction in long term.
They don’t care about the plight of others as long as they get a discount....
We outsourced millions of jobs to India. Let's start to pull that back now. Huge domestic political win for Biden and a big stick approach is needed now.
, please use your voice to urge the US (and the world) to intervene to stop the Russian genocide in Ukraine! And if there’s a nuclear war, nuke India!
What Russia does to Ukraine is what India wants to do to Pakistan and Afghanistan.
BRICS
Oil is like crack, there's always a buyer.
Our govt will buy anything on discounted tag and sell them to public on standard price. We like big vehicles with less fuel consumption. We like to pay less and want everything and get everything best.
Why some people are crying about it ? India imports from everyone who has to offer something. India imports products from Ukraine as well. Thousands of Indians study their giving thus earning foreign currency.
Glad to see the ‘wake up ’of India
I guess it's time to stop buying Indian products - completely.
PMOIndia rashtrapatibhvn damn have you no scruples? No shame? What a sad state.
Sanctions India as well..
let them be best buddies 😆 they re going down along with them,, they can be best friends forever in the purgatory🤣😂
My god India… I think you are smarter then this.
and Europe is still buying russian gas
At discounted price with free blood of Ukranians? What a selfish act. 🤔
Fvck India… Fvck Russia
Boycott india
a Weak country has no diplomacy, a poor country knows no justice because we all have to survive. To India there is nothing wrong to provide better service to their citizens at lower cost to improve their life, But to humanity that is a great sadness.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has consumed Russia and Ukraine, split the EU, disrupted Europe, affected China's economy, and benefited the Anglo Saxon imperialist countries. Think about it, who can't believe, who should believe.
Why US keep silence or silent on India supporting Russia on India ripping the harvest left behind by the West in these sanctioning providing Putin desperated needed funding to continue its attacks on Ukraine.
Never thought India on the Russia side.
7 reasons why sanctions won’t hurt Russia
蛋蛋的忧伤
