New York [US], September 24 (ANI): Dhruva Jaishankar, Executive Director of the Observer Research Foundation America, has refuted US President Donald Trump’s claims that India is funding the Russia-Ukraine war through its continued purchase of Russian oil. He emphasised that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been one of the most vocal leaders calling for an end to the conflict.
Speaking to ANI, Jaishankar said India’s oil purchases help stabilise global prices while prioritising national energy security.
“I think India has been very clear on that front. Prime Minister Modi has been one of the most vocal in calling for an end to the conflict, including in earlier meetings with President Putin… India has also presented a case for why it has continued to purchase oil from a variety of source
