EU to curb Indian fuel imports made with Russian oil: Report
Al JazeeraAPR 2023
Not only has India shown disregard for its allies' sanctions on Russian oil, but it has then used these low prices to turn around and profit billions of dollars by selling products to the West. By trying to help boost the Indian economy, the West has allowed New Delhi to hurt Western companies while not having to participate in the sanctions effort. It's time for India to change course and align with the norms of the global rules-based order.
After allowing India to continue purchasing Russian crude oil, the EU is now afraid that its refineries are producing gas that may have been made with that same oil. The only problem is that India also buys oil from Saudi Arabia and Iraq, which would make it virtually impossible to know which products were made with which country's oil. This example shows the haphazard hypocrisies of Western energy policies.
