Russia's ambassador to New Delhi has stated that Moscow is prepared to meet all of India's energy requirements by supplying sufficient crude, while condemning Washington's proposed expansion of sanctions targeting Russia's petroleum trade as a coercive maneuver.
The Russian envoy, Denis Alipov, made these remarks in an interview with Asian News International, emphasizing that Russia stands ready to deliver the full volume of oil that India needs.
He expressed regret that nations imposing sanctions and tariffs have opted for pressure tactics instead of honest cooperation, which he argued prevents them from extending better terms to India in the oil trade sector.
A US sanctions bill drafted by the late Senator Lindsey Graham—a staunch supporter of Ukraine—grants President Trump the authority to levy a 100% tariff on the five largest importers of Russian crude and natural gas, as well as on five major nations that help Russia bypass energy-related sanctions.
