Read the entire post to the latest developments on battle over russian oil.
Following the Alaska meeting with Trump, PRESIDENT PUTIN’S FIRST CALL WAS TO PRIME MINISTER NARENDRA MODI. 🔥
He not only briefed Modi on the Alaska discussions, covering peace talks, NATO concerns, and the Ukraine war, but also gave a DIRECT ASSURANCE: India should continue buying Russian oil without fear.
This single gesture has rattled Washington. 👇

America’s Growing Panic
At the White House, panic is visible. Trade adviser Peter Navarro, nicknamed the “Mad Man” in India’s geopolitical circles, has issued an extraordinary warning.
According to him, if India continues importing discounted Russian crude, Washington may withhold technology transfers in key defense deals.

This is no minor threat. Such transfers include the F414 engines for India’s Tejas fighter jets, Javelin anti-tank missiles, and other critical joint projects. By dragging defense deals into oil negotiations, the U.S. is signaling desperation—and a sharp fall in diplomatic maturity.
Navarro went further, accusing India’s “big oil lobby” of reaping profits at the expense of Indian consumers, and even alleging that by refining and re-exporting Russian oil, India is indirectly funding the Ukraine war. The rhetoric is strikingly aggressive, bordering on slander, and reflects America’s frustration: despite looming tariffs and mounting pressure, India is not budging.
But, do you think, the new India will sit back? NO 👇

India Hits Back: IOC’s Defiant Statement
In what can only be described as a bold counter-move, India’s largest PSU refiner, Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), declared it will CONTINUE purchasing Russian crude. The company made it clear: there are no government orders to halt, no special incentives to increase—India is simply buying discounted oil because it is economically rational.
IOC even released financial plans projecting ₹34,000 crore in new refinery expansions at Panipat and Vadodara, designed specifically to process heavier Russian crude. The message to Washington was unmistakable: India’s energy security is not up for negotiation.
Interestingly, only weeks earlier, some Indian PSUs had briefly paused Russian oil purchases when U.S. pressure peaked. But now, the public declaration of intent marks a turning point, New Delhi is signaling that it will not be dictated to, especially when cheap Russian oil helps stabilize global prices and shield Indian consumers from inflation.

Why India Won’t Back Down
1. Economic Logic: Russian crude comes at a discount of $5 or more per barrel, saving billions for India.
2. Global Stability: By absorbing Russian oil, India prevents global crude prices from spiraling, which benefits all importing nations.
3. Strategic Autonomy: India refuses to let any external power dictate its energy or defense policy.
This position is consistent with India’s larger doctrine of multi-alignment—balancing ties with the U.S., Russia, and other powers without being forced into rigid blocs.

The Larger Picture :
What alarms Washington most is not just the oil trade but the symbolism: Putin’s first post-Alaska outreach was to Modi. This underlines India’s growing centrality in global geopolitics.
The U.S., meanwhile, risks overplaying its hand. Threatening India with canceled defense deals could backfire, especially given past precedents like Turkey, a NATO ally, where Washington weaponized defense cooperation over policy disagreements.
Yet India today is not Turkey—it is the world’s fastest-growing large economy, a pivotal Indo-Pacific power, and increasingly indispensable to both East and West.

As August 27 approaches—the deadline for fresh U.S. tariffs—one thing is clear: India is not retreating. Neither Washington’s warnings nor Navarro’s inflammatory remarks have shaken New Delhi’s stance.
On the contrary, India has doubled down, with IOC openly declaring long-term reliance on Russian crude.
For the U.S., this is a sobering reality check: India will not compromise its energy security or strategic autonomy, no matter how intense the pressure. And for the world, it is yet another reminder that the balance of power in global geopolitics is shifting—and New Delhi is right at the center of it.
