Hindustan Times  

Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov has lauded external affairs minister S Jaishankar for navigating bilateral ties between New Delhi and Moscow amid the Ukraine war and recalled how his Indian counterpart responded when Western pundits demanded to know why India still aligned with his country. Sergey Lavrov was addressing the World Youth Forum in the Russian city of Sochi where he was asked about India’s oil purchases from Russia on Sunday. During the discussion session, Sergey Lavrov also highlighted the historical partnership between India and Russia, particularly Moscow’s support for New Delhi during the Cold War period when the West withheld advanced weaponry. Indian imports of Russian oil hit a record high in October 2022, with Russia becoming India’s top oil supplier in terms of barrels per day, news agency PTI reported, quoting data from energy tracker Vortexa.
