On Thursday (local time), in what is perhaps the sharpest attack on India regarding Russian oil purchase, the White House Trade Adviser Peter Navarro claimed India was perpetuating the Ukraine War by purchasing discounted Russian crude oil.
Alleging that India has been acting as a laundromat for the Kremlin, Peter Novarro said India purchase is allowing Russia to fund its war efforts in Ukraine, while New Delhi is reaping profit from the transactions. (ANI)
