‘Mortgaged to American interests’: US approval for Russian oil sparks outrage from Indian opposition - World
The US Treasury Department temporarily eased sanctions against Russia to allow Russian oil stranded at sea to be sold to India. The move, citing the need to keep oil flowing into the global market amidst heightened tensions in the Middle East following the US-Israeli attack on Iran, has drawn criticism from the Indian National Congress, who argue it undermines India's autonomy and suggests the country is being dictated to by American interests. The Congress emphasized that this decision was not made by Prime Minister Modi or the Indian government.
