Ukraine’s Kuleba yaps against India for buying Russian Oil
India has increased its purchases of cheap Russian oil six-fold since February, to the extent that Moscow is now its top crude supplier, according to local media reports
Ukraine’s foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba has realized that no amount of tantrums or sobbing against India’s ramping up of Russian oil purchases will be of any help. Now this Foreign Minister of Ukraine is accusing India’s action as “morally inappropriate”. First as a Government he with his President did not hesitate in challenging a much bigger Russia by trying to become a NATO stooge. On being thrashed badly, now they want that India should break its friendship with Russia.
A day earlier India’s top diplomat had categorically stated that the purchases of discounted Russian crude by India was for the people of India and was fully justified.
But Ukraine’s Dmytro Kuleba said it was “completely wrong” to justify buying oil from Russia “by arguing that Europeans were doing the same. “It was “morally inappropriate. Because you are buying cheap oil not because of Europeans but because of us, of our suffering, of our tragedy, and because of the war that Russia launched against Ukraine.”
Kuleba forgets that In fact Europe’s imports still dwarfed those of India despite the fact that it was NATO which was actually responsible for the ongoing conflict. Also Ukraine is suffering because of stupidity of its own government. For their personal benefit they agreed to become Western stooge and took on a country like Russia, which akin to a first Cousin if not a Step brother.
India is now fully aware of all the” mechanizations” and will certainly not break its friendship with Russia, no matter what.
India has increased its purchases of cheap Russian oil six-fold since the start of the conflict in February, to the extent that Moscow is now its top crude supplier, according to local media reports.
The government says that with millions of poor Indians hit hard by the global rise in commodity prices in the wake of the Western imposed war, it has no choice but to buy the cheapest oil possible.
On Monday, India’s foreign minister S. Jaishankar said his country’s costs were being driven up by European countries now buying up more oil and gas from the Middle East.
“The Middle East was traditionally a supplier for an economy like India, so it puts pressure on prices in the Middle East as well,” Jaishankar told reporters.
India and Russia are long-standing allies dating back to 1960s. During 1971 Indo Pak war, the wretched President of USA, Nixon, had tried to threaten India directly through its nuclear weapons armed USS Enterprise but Russia had intervened on side of India. Moscow still remains New Delhi’s biggest weapons supplier so India has rightly abstained on UN resolutions condemning the invasion of Ukraine.
