External affairs minister S Jaishankar stated that India is not the largest importer of Russian oil, highlighting that China and the European Union surpass India in oil and gas purchases from Russia. Jaishankar expressed confusion over recent pressure from Donald Trump to halt Indian oil imports from Russia, noting that India's oil purchases from the United States have actually increased. During talks with Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Moscow, Jaishankar reaffirmed the strength of India-Russia relations and addressed concerns about Indians serving in the Russian army, urging for a swift resolution of pending cases. Both nations also committed to expanding bilateral trade and tackling regulatory barriers, with Jaishankar reiterating India's stance on peace and diplomacy regarding ongoing regional conflicts.
