External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar criticized Western nations for their double standards regarding India's decision to purchase Russian oil. During his visit to Finland, he clarified that the U.S. itself had requested India to buy Russian oil to stabilize global crude prices. He defended India's decision, citing energy security and the fact that European countries had already secured Middle Eastern oil supplies. Jaishankar also pointed out the inconsistency in U.S. sanctions and questioned the ethical stance of Europe regarding weapon sales. https://sambad.in/india-and-beyond/jaishankar-criticises-west-over-russian-oil-imports-12030367 #creator program
