Putin says Russia ready to supply 'uninterrupted' fuel to India
Russian President Vladimir Putin reaffirmed Russia's commitment to provide "uninterrupted shipments" of fuel to India amid pressure from the US to halt Russian oil purchases. During his visit to Delhi, Putin questioned why India should face consequences for buying oil while the US also procures nuclear fuel from Moscow. The US has imposed tariffs on India for continuing to buy Russian oil, prompting tensions in India-US relations as efforts are made to resolve the trade deadlock and find a peaceful solution to the war in Ukraine. Putin emphasized that India should have the same privilege as the US in buying Russian fuel, highlighting the importance of enhancing connectivity between Russia and India.
