Russia has made a big offer to India amid growing economic tension between India and America. During the press conference in Delhi on Wednesday, Russia’s Deputy Chief of Mission Roman Babushkin said that if Indian goods are having problems in the American market, Russia will welcome Indian exports.

What did Babushkin say on American pressure?
Babushkin said that American pressure on India, especially is completely inappropriate and unilateral about the purchase of crude oil from Russia. He said, ‘If Indian products are having problems in the American market, then the Russian market is open to them. In fact, these restrictions are falling on them which they impose them.

India-Russia is a big thing on energy partnership
Babushkin expressed confidence that India-Russia energy partnership will continue despite any external pressure. He said that Russia is the largest crude oil supplier in India and India’s needs are increasing every year. This is an example of mutual harmony between the two economies.

American tariffs and impact on India
The statement came at a time when the press secretary of the White House Caroline Lewit said that President Donald Trump has imposed an additional 25% tariff on India to prevent Russia from continuing the Ukraine war. This tariff will be applicable from August 27. Trump later doubled it to 50%. This can affect India’s textile, marine and leather exports. India described this move as ‘inappropriate, unjust and impractical’ and Prime Minister Narendra Modi clearly said that India will not bow under economic pressure.

What did Russia say while attacking Western countries?
Babushkin said that even if India turns mouth with Russian oil, it will not get equal support from the West because the trend of Western countries is “neo-colonial”. He said, ‘If the West criticizes you, then understand that you are on the right path. We know that India is going through difficult situations but this is the real strategic partnership.

He said that the recent conversation between President Putin and Prime Minister Modi is a proof that India is very important for Russia. Both countries will benefit from further depth of the partnership.

Russian official said- “Rubbands illegal and unsuccessful”
The Russian official said that non-UN restrictions and secondary services are illegal and their aim is to make the economy weapons only. He said, ‘BRICS country and Russia never impose such restrictions. Despite tremendous pressure on Russia, our economy is constantly increasing. This means that such a big and important economy cannot be excluded from the global system. The restrictions at the end harm those who impose them.

What is Russia’s opinion on America-India relationship?
Babushkin said that if America really considered India as its friend, it would not behave like this. He said that American steps are ‘weapons of unfair competition’, including double standard, pressure and blackmail.
