All counties should embargo Russia. Those who keep funding them should in turn be sanctioned.
Modi is just another one of Putin’s meat riders.
Everyone should be distancing themselves from India as long as they keep importing ruZZian oil, they’re funding the war machine that’s killing innocent Ukrainian civilians.
Not a safe country for Women. India is a failed democracy.
Just invade India and depose Modi.
India is importing 2 million barrels of Russian crude oil per day.
Replacing that with oil from a different source will be a challenge, but it’s not impossible, at least with the current state of the world economy. Saudi Arabia is currently producing around 9 million barrels per day. That is down from around 11 million barrels per day in 2022. They could up their production back to the old level to meet the extra demand.
Ukraine needs to destroy Russia’s oil refineries. Hit Russia where it will hurt them the most, their wallet. No oil, no money.
Crude oil : China (52%), India(33%), EU(8%) and Turkey(5%) for that.
While :
LNG: The EU was the largest buyer, purchasing 50% of Russia’s LNG exports, followed by China (21%) and Japan (19%). No sanctions are imposed on Russian LNG shipments to the EU.
Oil products: Turkey, the largest buyer, has purchased 24% of Russia’s oil products, followed by China (12%) and Brazil (10%). The EU’s sanctions on seaborne Russian oil products were implemented on 5 February 2023.
Pipeline gas: The EU was the largest buyer, purchasing 39% of Russia’s pipeline gas, followed by Turkey (29%) and China (26%). No sanctions are imposed on Russian pipeline gas imports into the EU.
China was the largest importer of Russian fossil fuels in January, accounting for 33% (EUR 7.1 bn) of total imports. Turkey recorded the second highest imports, accounting for 20% (EUR 3.1 bn), while India was third with an 18% (EUR 2.8 bn) import share. The EU and Brazil contributed 13% (EUR 2.1 bn) and 4% (EUR 0.7 bn) to Russian fossil fuel exports, respectively.
No one even sees Turkey…🫣
>Despite sanctions on Russian oil, European countries increase intake of products from India, China, Turkey, UAE and Singapore that are purchasing increased amounts of Russian oil.
(Indian citizens are not getting discounted oil. It directly goes to West and Western allies making MNCs richer)
>>India isn’t a big player on the high table yet. Right now india is simply playing a geopolitical middle man for stabilising oil prices because the US wants it to. If India was acting alone, it would have been sanctioned left and right.
doesn’t India profit from it by forcing russia to accept low price or something ?
Europe should at least match in aid what they literally give to Russia for their oil. Pretty crazy how Europe is partly funding the Russian war machine and there are no alternatives
It isn’t that simple. In effect, he’s asking Modi to do the impossible. India needs the fuel and it cannot be replaced on the world market without driving prices up significantly. Neither India nor the rest of the world can afford that and it’s the reason that the US has turned a blind eye to India buying Russian oil (if not quietly condoning it).
That India is buying Russian oil is an excuse for straight up racism as far as I’m concerned. It’s easy for countries like my own (Canada) to criticize because our trade relationship with Russia is practically non-existent.
India is buying oil in Indian Rupees, not USD, so Russia can’t even do much with it except to reinvest the money back into India.
Modi is also a fascist fu**, so don’t expect anything
“fuck your country over for us”
It’s easy to say, but when everyone’s gas price shoots up, they immediately blame the leadership.
The catch is, what will India get? Indians cannot even travel to Ukraine without a visa while Ukrainians can travel to India with e visa. That’s showing their relationship is not equal
India is currently buying 10 million barrels of Russian oil a month.
Telling a member of brics to not buy oil from an another member of brics 😭
If Zelenskyy pays the difference why not
So will millions of Indians, so no thanks
this brings us to the question: who actually blew up tunker with russian oil today?
Zelenskyy one of the worlds dumbest leaders
What a great leader.
So will India
But but but India needs fertilizers from Russia. In fact, 4/5 of all fertilizers imported are from Russia. If Russia decides to raise price of fertilizers exported to India or stop exports to India, Modi BJP will be in deep trouble. So India needs to buy Russian oil.
Russia supported India during the Cold War while the US supported India’s enemy Pakistan. So India might be getting a good deal on some oil but there’s also a long relationship there.
This is being done to keep world oil prices stableish and to provide some back door influence on Russia not to take certain actions.
Europe is literally buying Russian oil through India
Once a great man said – Europe needs to come out of the mindset that their problems are world’s problems but world’s problems aren’t their
Wait.. and then what happens to Europe/west who get the same oil from India. India buys from Russia, refines it and sells it back to Europe…
Difficult thing to ask
Please remind me, has Ukraine already stopped transferring gas from Russia to Europe through ukrainian territory?
India and China are not going to stop helping Russia.
> Zelenskyy to India “help us hurt Russia by hurting yourselves”
And a nation of a billion people to be fed is just supposed to say yep with a smile on their face?
Hehe. He pleads to India to import less oil/gas, India just surpassed China as the biggest importer of Russian oil/gas.
