Europe continues to buy 45% of its gas from Russia, even after the invasion.
Germany: 55% of the natural gas, 52% of the coal & 34% of mineral oil used comes from Russia.
But India must think about its place in history books if it buys Russian oil?
The West’s hypocrisy stinks.
Jen Psaki on if India accepts Russian oil at a reduced costs: "[T]hink about where you want to stand when the history books are written in this moment in time, and support for the Russian leadership is support for an invasion that obviously is having a devastating impact."
