Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday warned the United States against pressuring India to stop buying Russian oil, saying New Delhi would never allow itself to be humiliated in front of anyone. Speaking at the Valdai Discussion Group in the Black Sea resort city of Sochi, Putin said, “...the people of a country like India will closely monitor decisions made by the political leadership and will never allow any humiliation in front of anyone... I know PM Modi; he himself would never take any steps of this kind", Reuters reported. Putin said, “If India refuses our energy supplies, it will suffer a certain loss.” His remarks came after US President Donald Trump urged Europe, India, and China to stop purchasing Russian oil in a bid to cut Moscow’s funding for its war in Ukraine.
