Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that only US President Donald Trump is making this claim that India will stop buying oil from Russia. Lavrov said that there is no threat to the oil agreements between Russia and India.
India has also given a statement on this issue
This statement of Lavrov came at a time when India also gave clarification on this issue. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said that India will buy crude oil from different countries as per its need. He said that India will continue to diversify sources to keep the supply chain stable. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal also said that energy security of 1.4 billion people is the top priority of the government. He also said that all India’s agreements with Russia continue as before.
In August 2025, America had imposed 25% additional tariff on India because India was buying oil from Russia. Later this tariff was withdrawn. However, the US warned that if India resumed purchasing Russian oil directly or indirectly, the 25% tariff could be reimposed.
