🇺🇸🇷🇺🇮🇳⚡- "India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits. They don’t care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇮🇳⚡- "India has been targeted by the United States and the European Union for importing oil from Russia after the commencement of the Ukraine conflict. In fact, India began importing from Russia because traditional supplies were diverted to Europe after the outbreak of the conflict. The United States at that time actively encouraged such imports by India for strengthening global energy markets stability.

India's imports are meant to ensure predictable and affordable energy costs to the Indian consumer. However, it is revealing that the very nations criticizing India are themselves indulging in trade with Russia. Unlike our case, such trade is not even a vital national compulsion.

The European Union in 2024 had a bilateral trade of Euro 67.5 billion in goods with Russia. In addition, it had trade in services estimated at Euro 17.2 billion in 2023. This is significantly more than India's total trade with Russia that year or subsequently. European imports of LNG in 2024, in fact, reached a record 16.5mn tonnes, Surpassing the last record of 15.21mn tonnes in 2022.

Where the United States is concerned, it continues to import from Russia uranium-hexafluoride for its nuclear industry, palladium for its EV industry, fertilizers as well as chemicals.

In this background, the targeting of India is unjustified and unreasonable. Like any major economy, India will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security," - India's Ministry of External Affairs.

🇺🇸⚡- "Hegseth’s latest battle: infighting inside the Pentagon. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s string of missteps has spurred infighting inside the Pentagon and raised concerns among some Republicans on Capitol Hill about his ability to run the department.

The problems lie in Hegseth's lack of experience managing organizations comparable in scale to the Pentagon. The dissatisfaction especially began to grow in March due to a leak on the Signal messenger of data about US strikes in Yemen.

Hegseth also fired 3 high-ranking department employees, and his distrust of the country's military leadership has only increased since then, leading to new resignations and internal conflicts.

Trump rejected the idea of a possible resignation of Pentagon Chief Hegseth following the scandal with the Signal leak of data about US military strikes in Yemen," - The Wall Street Journal.
