Russia's Unwavering Grip on India's Oil Supplies India's decision to continue buying oil from Russia, despite the US sanctions waiver expiring, has sparked a mix of reactions in the global energy market.
While some see it as a bold move by the Indian government to defy Western pressure, others view it as a pragmatic choice driven by commercial logic and supply security concerns.
The Indian government's assertion that it will continue to procure oil from Russia, with or without the sanctions waiver, is not surprising given the country's history of bilateral energy cooperation with Moscow.
