"US still buys nuclear fuel from us”: Putin defends India’s oil purchases amid pressure from Trump

Ahead of a two-day visit to India on Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin defended India’s right to buy Russian oil, despite pressure from the U.S. for India not to. There is increasing pressure on India from U.S. President Donald Trump to curb purchases of Russian oil amid Russia’s war in Ukraine.
