India termed the US move to impose an additional 25 per cent of altitude on Wednesday (6 August 2025) as unfair and unfortunate. The Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement saying that India will take all necessary steps to protect its national interests. The Ministry of External Affairs said that other other countries are also purchasing oil from Russia, but America wrongly targeted India. India’s sign was about China and Turki, which buys oil from Russia and no action was taken on it.
‘Other countries are also taking such steps with national interests’
The Ministry of External Affairs said that we have already clarified our position on these issues that our import is based on market factors and is done with the overall objective of ensuring energy security of 1.4 billion people of India. The Ministry of External Affairs said, “This decision is very unfortunate because the US has opted to impose additional fees on India for such steps, which many other countries are also taking up in view of their national interests.”
China is the biggest buyer of Russian oil
The Ministry of External Affairs was a sign of countries like China and Turki, who buy a large amount of crude oil from Russia.
