Zelensky’s Criticism of India’s Russian Oil Purchases: A Case of Double Standards?
Zelensky criticises India’s purchasing of Russian oil while ignoring that his own benefactors in Europe have been buying billions of dollars of gas from Russia
It appears that two hugs by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to President Volodymyr Zelensky in Apulia and Kyiv have been weighed lightly compared to the one given to Russian President Vladimir Putin. President Zelensky had invited and hosted PM Modi and has been asking India, along with other Western leaders, to leverage its influence with President Putin to end the conflict. Hence PM Modi used his personal diplomacy and credit with Putin in July to find a reasonable solution through dialogue, diplomacy, and respect for the UN Charter.
