The Kremlin said on Monday that India will continue purchasing oil from Russia as long as it is “profitable,” emphasizing New Delhi’s sovereign right to choose energy suppliers. This comes after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a 50% tariff on Indian goods, citing its continued Russian oil imports. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stressed that India’s energy decisions are driven by its economic interests, and that in recent talks, Moscow reiterated it can guarantee “uninterrupted” oil supplies.
