In my understanding, he is doing his work honestly.

We do not harm anyone and I think leaders of other countries will understand this.

Putin further said, ‘This fuel is also uranium, which is used in America’s reactors. If America has the right to buy fuel from us, why should India not have the same right? This question is a matter of serious consideration and we are ready to discuss it, even with President Trump.
