The Kremlin has never been richer, thanks to a US strategic partner 

India buying crude oil from Russia is a problem but Germany buying gas from Russia is not a problem.

India buying from Russia = 😡 US/EU buying from India =👌🏻

The EU/US were like "India you buy tonnes of oil from Russia, we'll buy it from you so the media can blame you"

India refines this oil and ships it to Europe! So ultimately, it's Europe which is fueling this war and they are doing it knowingly!

China/India buying from Russia and then US/EU buying from China/India is classic Adam Smith.

India isn’t a subservient nation to US interests. They have shared goals with the US but they have longer standing relations with Russia and there is zero reason for them to jeopardize that.

You guys just said Russian economy was suffering….now it has more money than ever?!😂

Europe sanctioned Russia just to buy Russian oil at higher rate through middle man 😂😂😂

you have used a wrong map and showed some part of India as Pak and china...would you show parts of Ukraine as part of Russia as well

What will happen if India or no country buys Russian oil? The price of crude is going to sky rocket. No country/society will be able to handle the price hike..

Dont forget how nixon / kissinger threatened this strategic ally with the 7th fleet in the 70s.

This is karma for US having taking Pakistans side when it came to India. Russia always supported India.

There is no denying that energy prices would be higher (may be significantly) if countries like India and China stopped buying Russian oil. Is the West okay with that? Also, some European countries still buy Russian oil and gas. 25% of US uranium needs are met from Russia (used for powering nuclear reactors). Russia is a major exporter of oil & gas and it is simply impossible to shut them out of the global supply chain.

The UK also uses a "refinery loophole" where Russian oil is refined in a third country like lndia and is then legal for UK to buy

US calls India a strategic partner, also US - Arms and funds Pakistan - Supports Canada on the Khalistan issue with India - Supports China by NOT shifting American businesses to India In my view, our worst enemy is US not Pakistan

A strategic partner is not an ally. China was a strategic partner against the Soviet Union. India is a strategic partner against China.

So if India doing trade with Russia 'funds' the war isn't India also 'funding' the war because of its trade with Ukraine ??? It's damned if you do, damned if you don't.

As a trucker, I’ve been saying this the entire time. I saw my monthly fuel average jump from 5k a month to 10k a month average when the sanctions went in

I have watched videos wherein Indian foreign minister cleared the smoke and mentioned "What India buys in a quarter is what EU buys in an afternoon". I agree with India, it's hypocrisy to point at a nation which is starving for energy while EU who is directly impacted with this war and has energy security, still imports biggest amount of gas from Russia.

The US is not exactly in a moral position to criticize any other country on anything. Not after Gaza.

Capitalism at its finest - India

India as a sovereign nation and democratic country has its right to do what is beneficial for the nation and its people.

I thought Russia was out of money and weapons and their soldiers only had shovels......!?

Whole Europe + America - Sanctions on Russia India(alone) - Sanctions on my foot 😂

India has every right to follow its own independent foreign policy and not bound by any western countries dictate against Russia as Indian interests comes First

It’s honestly impossible to isolate Russia 🇷🇺 in the world. This is my view

Thank India you keep your economy going. If India stops supplying refined oil, there will be anarchy in Europe. The US probably will be fine because they have their oil but Europe will be completely broken, already automobile companies and in general the European economy are falling in recession.

Total imports from Russia to EU is $ 84 billion Total trade of Russia-India - $ 48 billion

America is helping the Russian economy get filthy rich lol this game is hilarious 😂😂

Let me give you a complete picture: Coal: China has imported 40% of all Russian coal exports since 5 December 2022. They are followed by India (20%) and South Korea (13%). Crude oil: China is the largest buyer of Russian crude oil, purchasing 45%, followed by India (33%), the EU (7%) and Turkey (5%). Since the EU’s ban on crude oil from Russia on 5 December 2022, the EU’s imports of crude oil have arrived via sea to Bulgaria and via pipeline for the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. LNG: The EU was the largest buyer, purchasing 49% of Russia’s LNG exports, followed by China (22%) and Japan (18%). No sanctions are imposed on Russian LNG shipments to the EU. LPG: Turkey was the largest buyer, purchasing 55% of Russia’s LPG exports, followed by the EU (34%). The EU 12th sanctions package includes a prohibition on the import of Russian LPG, with a provision for grandfathering existing contracts for a maximum period of 12 months. Oil products: Turkey, the largest buyer, has purchased 24% of Russia’s oil products, followed by China (12%) and Brazil (10%). While the EU’s sanctions on seaborne Russian oil products were implemented on 5 February 2023, oil via pipeline is only partially sanctioned. Pipeline gas: The EU was the largest buyer, purchasing 37% of Russia’s pipeline gas, followed by Turkey (34%) and China (24%). No sanctions are imposed on Russian pipeline gas imports into the EU. Why because EU need time to find other sources and are gradually moving away from Russia. India doesn't have money as much as EU has and wants to get some cheap oil, then its fair and square. Some of EU members and Turkey are part of NATO while India is not. Traditionally Russia helped India with weapons when it fought wars with Pakistan. Pakistan was armed by US and EU members. Not saying this is wrong but now asking India to abandon is not fair as well. While Pakistan sent its terrorists in India, Ukraine was supplying arms, weapons and ammunitions to Pakistan and supported it. Now supporting Ukraine is one thing but to go against Russia in supporting Ukraine doesn't make sense to India at all. If India would go against Russia now in the time of need, what kind of ally would that make us. Pakistan attacked and occupied Kashmir while King of Kashmir signed accession with Indian government. Still India sought to resolve. the matter peacefully using UN. But what West did ? Nothing, India still doesn't have access to that part of its country (POK) and even faced cross border terrorism in India. Note: US did help us against China in 1962 but very late. China still occupies a very big chunk of Indian territory. But US backstabbed us in 1971 and especially Kargil war again when Pakistani army disguised as terrorists, occupied crucial peaks in Indian territories. Its hard for India to trust US completely. I see a shift now but it will take time.

You sanction Venezuela; you sanction Iran; you sanction Russia; then you expect India with a 1400 million population to not buy oil from Russia. While, the USA is getting richer and richer because it is self sufficient in oil. Such hypocrisy and arrogance.

Its so simple tell your EU friends to stop buying. Lets see if they listen to you 😂😂😂😂😂

People don't understand, that it's almost impossible to blockade trade nowadays. Trade always finds a route. And from these sanctions EU is loosing the most. They still are buying resources from Russia, but now they just cost more due to more complicated routing and few transfer points. Big companies already started to relocate to USA. And it's a problem, especially for Germany.

India has been a big Russian supporter for years. The inference that India and the US are strategic partners is not at all true.

On a planet of oil addicts the dealers will always call the shots.

Yeah strategic partner when it suits the US.. India buy cheap oil for its people maybe the US should look after its people first rather than others

At the recent Security Council meeting, India Foreign Minister was asked in front of Anthony Brinkin if it is OK for India to disregard the sanctions and import massive amount of oil from Russia. His answer was that India was simply being smart and should be congratulated. Blinken simply sat there with a smile.

So US is buying Russian crude oil😮

I never knew CNN could cover how Biden is making Russia great again 😅😅

India surely needs the oil

India and russia are friends for as long as human history goes. USA has made a mistake here . US should understand the Asian mindset where emotional bonds last forever

At the end of the day, India should thank US and Europe for being a fool to allow India to sell Russian oil to them at a handsome markup. 😂😂

"Money is more important than country and human rights!" Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty

The Map of India shown in your graphics is not correct as entire Kashmir is an integral part of India

I get the feeling that Russia is ignoring the sanctions placed on them

as an indian I feel cool and have goosebumbs

So if I understand this correctly, The USA imports a lot of oil from India which originates from Russia? Is that what they're saying?

It's ridiculous to blame India. EU purchased much more oil from Russia than India. UK government granted UK citizenship to head of Russian occupation administration of Sevastopol who purchased a villa in London.

that is why ukraine has started taking on oil related targets lately. if they could remove half of all production it would probably cripple Russia

It's strange that Russia is richer than ever but is rapidly burning through it's reserve cash. The two don't mix.

India has every right to defend its interests 🇮🇳..

Usa should give 100 billion dollar money to india free we will not purchase russian oil ok

Europe and US buying Russian oil wouldn't support Russian economy.......Great west logic😂😂😂😂

Y'all need to mind your own business 😂😂😂😂😂 At this point i believe US is obsessed with Russia 😂

No doubt Russia has been doing whatever they can to skirt sanctions, but there is no way that this is more profitable than shipping crude through already established pipelines. Higher revenue does not equal higher profits.

India has every right to buy whatever it needs for it's citizens welfare

When the biggest economy in the world USA can leave billions of weapons in Afghanistan because it doesn’t make sense financially to transport them back but India a developing country who’s economy is 1/10th the size of US is expected to not buy cheap oil to support US

I’m confused one minute they’re hungry and suffering. The next minute they are richer than ever before smh…

EU's import from Russia in 2023 worth 89 billions in doller.Why you are not saying it? Cry more for others😂

Do not poke a nuclear armed bear that sits on huge amounts of oil, gas, minerals, diamonds, gold, uranium, and ores.

There is nothing wrong with India helping Russia much like USA helping Israel.

Dont blame India dude. use some common sense, Lets see some facts to test your common sense 1. India increases its buying of Russian oil FACT. (not sure if its 16 times) 2. Did India consume more Russian oil 16X ? NO. 3. Did Indians buy say 10X the cars because Russian oil is cheaper? NO. So whats happening? Due to sanction on Russia, EU & other countries started to buy from middle east thus due to more demand the prices went up, also not enough oil was available to give everyone at the same time. India buys Russian oil, reprocesses it and sells to Europe. the funny part is that the European companies that buy this oil, know that its Russian oil processed in India. but its available and no long queues. Further as S Jaishankar said that, the priority of Indian govt are its people, if the fuel price goes up, the inflation rises, which is the case in Europe and USA. thus buying cheap Russian oil supports Indian economy. he further added that if USA which put the sanctions, makes oil available to India cheaper than Russian oil, we will buy more from that source. its business. The top oil sources like Venezuela, Iran and Russia are under sanction, the demand goes up, Also the USA sanctions have been on price, they have capped the Russian fuel price, India is buying within this cap. So my answer to America and Europe is, say Thank you to India for ensuring that your economies don't tank due to inflation due to very very high fuel costs

Wish you guys would get on same page, some channels are saying Russia is Rich, some say Broke? So, which is it?

Take this news with a grain of salt. It’s CNN.

America you can't mess with India. India don't need America, its Americans who need India 😂

india is very concerned about democracy in usa we are closely following mr. trump indictments

Only one thing in the world talks louder than human rights, ethics and moral principles: $

India will continue to safeguard its own interests. And will NOT make her own people suffer.

India will always help Russia lol western world 😅😂

USA is the biggest Russian supporter 🎉

Moral of the story: Stop lecturing India😂

America's war is not India's war.

How about nato proxy war all over the world? Why nato destroyed iraq? And Libya?

lmao india should buy more oil from russia hell yeah go india go

This is whole report is just wrong. Russia's current growth comes from their MASSIVE military spending, NOT the fossil fuel business. Income from selling fossil fuels is DECREASING in Russia since it has to sell its products to China and India at a discount and with higher logistical costs. How can CNN fail to mention these important details?

Buying refined Russian oil from India is an improvement, since the oil in its refined state is worth more than it is as crude. Thus some of the oil revenue that would've accrued to Russia has instead been diverted to India - Russia thereby has less revenue than it would have done otherwise

this is hilarious how India is now an oil exporter without having much oil. 🤣

Why US buying fertilizers? It's all American rich people game. They always benefits whatever the global situation is.

India is Russias Blood Brothers and no one can seprate them. India ❤️ Russia

Your US tax dollars at work ladies and gentlemen. While your kids get a substandard education, the streets are filled with homeless people, and you can't afford your groceries ..but hey at least we can fund a proxy war that has ZERO to do with us, isn't our problem, and isn't our conflict. That extra money they just got from congress is of course on top of the 10 mil we already give them DAILY. We give them more money then any other country on the planet. Have for decades. Remember that the next time you drive on a busted up street or pay 4$ a gallon at the pump and wonder what it is congress does with all that money we give them.

Well if India won't buy this Russian crude, Chinese will buy it for their energy needs and making refined products that would still end up in US and EU.

Wait, wait, wait. I'm confused. Is CNN actually reporting the news right now? 🤯

India will help Russia in every way we can. Russia has been our friend and trusted partner for decades. As Mr. Jay Sankar says you in the West were busy arming a military dictatorship called Pakistan. No point in lamenting today

Avdika fell because Russia is beating nato and is winning the logistics war. India is an ally of Russia whereas Pakistan is an ally of the USA especially after the recent USA inspired quasi coup in Pakistan. Thats the reason.

Well done, India. Cheap oil good for your economy.

America never been richer only won big jackpot in ww2 when Europe declined or destroyed by war.

India is getting a good deal also (from their perspective) by buying at the sanctioned price cap on RU oil.

Gladly so because eu bought from india knowing its russia oil

Welcome to capitalism yankees

Russia may be the one shipping the oil, but it's Charles Koch who is reaping the profits.

Well done India!! 👍👍 .. and why didnt countries block funding for 🇺🇸 war machine??

The US still thinks everyone in the world gives a shit about its sanctions? 😂

Actually, this was what was happening, but has now almost ceased to occur. Of the 50 tankers that was doing this only 8 are doing this now. It is true that India purchased Russian oil in large quantities last year, but this year India has dramatically reduced the amount of Russian oil imports. Now what is curious is why does CNN put out this info as if is still occurring?

America blaming everyone but themselves for their failures.

😃😃😂😂😂😂😃Thats very funny america and Urope buying russian oil from india and telling india not to buy it .

In short the US and eu are hypocritical 😂

Us can never say no to cheat oil 😂😂😂😂

India has 2000 spare tanks in storage. They should be sold to Russia in return for crude oil.

Why do we need 3 jews including the announcer, to tell us what’s going on in a 5 mins video??

Russia: Starts war - Makes bank - refuses to elaborate
