‘Got Assurance From India...’ Marco Rubio On Russian Oil After Trade Deal

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that India has assured the United States it will not purchase additional Russian oil, as Washington ramps up sanctions on Moscow’s energy sector. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Rubio said discussions with India resulted in a commitment aligned with broader Western efforts to curb Russia’s energy revenues. He noted that Europe has also taken steps to reduce dependence on Russian oil. The comments come amid intensified US pressure on Russia over the prolonged conflict in Ukraine, with energy exports remaining a crucial source of revenue for Moscow during the ongoing war.
