‘We also buy oil from US, and that has increased’: Jaishankar on India’s Russian oil trade

India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar firmly defended New Delhi’s continued oil trade with Russia, stating that India is neither the largest importer of Russian crude nor isolated in its dealings with Moscow.
