About India-Russia ties during the Russia-Ukraine crisis<\/h2>\n

Since Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine began, western sanctions have drastically cut Russian exports. Hence, Russia has increasingly joined with countries like India and China which do not join the sanctions to export resources. For example, India\u2019s oil imports from Russia have jumped from a negligible 0.2% since the war to a massive 28% of India’s total oil intake.This gave a rise to Western accusations that India is \u201cbenefitting from the war\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
