Britain has taken a big decision by further tightening its economic measures against Russia. This time, not only Russia, but some oil companies of India and China have also come under target. The British government has imposed new economic sanctions to stop Russia’s funding of the ongoing war in Ukraine. The most disturbing thing about these sanctions is that it also includes the name of India’s big energy company Nyra Energy, which has been buying huge quantities of crude oil from Russia.

This decision has been taken at a time when the British Prime Minister has recently returned from a tour of India. A few days later, Britain announced these new restrictions. The government says that the purpose of these steps is to weaken Russia’s economic power and to stop its funding for the Ukraine war. British Chancellor Rachel Reeves said that Russia is now gradually exiting the global oil market and Britain will ensure that no country or company can support its oil trade. On the matter, British Chancellor Rachel Reeves said, “We will put pressure on all those companies which are helping Russia.” Whether they are in India or China. There is no place for Russian oil in global markets now.

Reason for ban on Nyara Energy

India’s Nyara Energy is a major private oil refinery company, which purchased oil from Russia at a record level last year. According to reports, in the year 2024, Nyara Energy imported 100 million barrels of Russian crude oil, which was worth about 5 billion dollars (about 41 thousand crore rupees). The British government expressed displeasure that some companies of India and China are strengthening its economy by buying oil from Russia. The government believes that this purchase gives Russia the economic capacity to continue fighting in the Ukraine war, therefore these sanctions imposed on Nyra Energy are part of Britain’s effort to tighten the noose on any economic partner of Russia.

Action against Russian oil companies and tankers also

Britain has imposed sanctions not only on the Indian company but also on two big Russian oil companies and its ‘shadow fleet’. Shadow fleets are ships that transport Russian oil to different countries while avoiding maritime surveillance. According to the government, the number of these ships is about 44 and they carry millions of barrels of oil to global markets every day. Britain says that blacklisting these tankers and companies will make it very difficult for Russia to do international oil trade. These sanctions will affect insurance, payments and port services, which will have a direct impact on Russia’s oil supplies.

Impact on global oil market

This move by Britain has created new uncertainty in the global oil market. If Russia’s supply is restricted, there may be a temporary rise in oil prices. At the same time, Russia can sell oil at a huge discount to retain its old customers, which may also reduce prices in some countries.

UK policy and international response

This step of Britain is being considered a part of a larger geopolitical strategy. The government’s aim is to show that now those doing energy trade with Russia will also have to take responsibility. However, this decision is also raising the possibility of some economic tension between Britain and India, because companies like Nyara Energy play an important role in meeting India’s energy needs. Nevertheless, the British government says that its priority is to weaken Russia’s economic strength and not to spoil relations with other countries.

India will buy American oil

A new chapter is going to open in the trade relations between India and America. Amidst the ongoing trade deal negotiations between the two countries, the Indian government has indicated that it is ready to increase the purchase of American oil and gas. This decision is not only important from the business point of view, but it can also give a new direction to the economic and political cooperation between the two countries.

India’s new policy in oil trade

India has long been trying to strike a balance in its policies regarding energy security. America has been a major energy partner for India. A few years ago, India was importing oil and gas worth about $25 billion from America, but in recent months this figure has come down to $12 to 13 billion.

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.

US President Donald Trump has warned Russia that if he did not stop the ongoing war in Ukraine, he would have to face “very serious” consequences. Responding to a reporter’s question at Kennedy Center on Wednesday, Trump said that if Russia did not agree to stop the war, strict steps would be taken against him.

Possible action on Russia
The reporter asked that if Vladimir Putin did not agree to stop the war after your Friday meeting, would Russia have to face any consequences? Trump said in response to this-yes, Russia will have to suffer strict consequences. Trump further said that the results will include tariffs and restrictions. He said, “I don’t need to tell that the results will be very serious.

I made India aware of the firm state of India over the need for a quick and peaceful solution of the struggle. India is committed to further strengthening bilateral relations with Ukraine along with making every possible contribution in this regard.

Ban on Russia and stop energy exports
He also discussed the sanctions imposed against Russia. Jailonsky said that it is necessary to limit energy, especially oil exports from Russia so that its financing can be reduced to continue the war. He urged all the leaders to send a strong signal to pressurize Russia.

International community eye on Russia-Ukraine conflict
The international community is deeply monitoring the events happening in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The appeal of India’s peace solution coincides with the world’s efforts that focus on reducing stress and finding permanent solutions from diplomatic paths.

Sergey lavrov on trump tariff: US President Donald Trump threatened Russia to put a 50 -day ultimatum to end 100% tariffs to end the Ukraine War. Within 24 hours of this statement, Russia replied that it is fully ready to deal with any new ban. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavarov reacted sharply to Trump’s threat during a meeting of SCO Foreign Ministers in China.

Willing to deal with new restrictions – Lavarov
Talking to reporters at the 25th Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Foreign Ministers’ meeting held in Tianjin, China, Lavrov said, “We have no doubt that we will face new restrictions.” Along with this, he questioned the intention of Trump and said, “We want to understand what spirit that the US President is inspired by the spirit.

What did Trump say?
On Monday, Donald Trump had said, if Russia does not reach any agreement to end the war in 50 days, we will put very strict tariffs- up to 100%. You can call them secondary tariffs. He further said, we are very angry with Russia. When asked about Putin, Trump said, I do not want to say that he is a killer, but he is a ‘tough man’.

Ukraine’s loss so far in war
According to the Reuters report, the US says that 12 lakh people have been injured or killed in the Ukraine War so far. However, none of Russia and Ukraine have given official numbers.

Russia’s retaliation- Ultimateum rejected
Russian Deputy Minister Ryabkov said on Tuesday, “We first want to clarify that any kind of threat or ultimatum is not acceptable for us.” Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov said, the recent statement of the US President is very serious. Some of these things are directly related to President Vladimir Putin. He also said that we need some time to analyze the rhetoric coming from Washington.

Russia-ukraine war: Ukraine President Volodimir Zelansky said that Russia fired 597 drones and 26 missiles on Ukraine on Friday night. He said that this is Russia’s biggest attack in recent times. According to Zelancesi, most of these drones were ‘Shahd’ drones, which are made in Iran. He appealed to the world to impose strict restrictions on Russia, so that such attacks can be stopped.

The Ukrainian Air Force reported that they hit 319 drones and 25 missiles. But about 20 drones and a missile fell in five places, causing damage. However, the Air Force did not say which these five places were.

Not just signs, now concrete steps have to be taken- Zelancesi
Zelancesi appealed to Western countries to not just warns, but take immediate and concrete decisions to stop Russia. He said that it is possible to stop the speed of such air strikes of Russia, if strict restrictions are imposed in time.

Those who earn profits from drone and oil get punishment
Zelansky specifically demanded that those countries or people be punished, helping Russia to make drones or earning profits from its oil sales. He said that oil exports remain a major support for Russia’s economy and this is furthering its war.
