Kremlin Talks About India's Purchase of Russian Oil: Countries Have the Right to Choose Trade Partners on Their Own

Russian President's Press Secretary Peskov commented on India's purchase of Russian oil, stating that each sovereign country has the right to independently choose its trade partners.

Previously, an Indian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Jaishwal, stated that India believes it is baseless and unreasonable for the United States and the European Union to criticize India for importing Russian oil, and that India will take measures to protect its national interests and economic security.

When asked whether the Kremlin believes that Russia's energy exports are under threat, Peskov replied, "We believe that each sovereign country should and has the right to independently choose its trade partners and economic partners, and to choose an economic cooperation model that is in line with its own interests."
