The statement by the head of EU foreign affairs, Josep Borrell, that the EU may limit the import of Indian oil products derived from Russian oil, was rejected by Indian Foreign Minister Subramanyam Jaishankar. TASS advised Borrell to learn EU Council rules.
“Look at the EU Council rules, Russian oil is processed in third countries to a significant extent and is no longer considered Russian,” the prime minister said.
“I invite you to read EU Council Regulation 833/2014,” added the Indian representative. The document is about the EU’s restriction rules against Russia.
On the eve of Borrell did not exclude that the community could limit the import of Indian petroleum products from Russian oil. The purpose of the innovations is to tighten anti-Russian sanctions.
formerly Borrell declarationHe said that the armed conflict in Ukraine shows the gap between the developing countries and the West. They believe that Africa, Asia and Latin America do not participate in the anti-Russian sanctions because they see the Ukraine conflict as a way to divert attention from their global problems. Borrell cites developing countries’ view that while large-scale aid is being provided to Kiev, the wealthier EU, the US and their allies consistently lack the money to resolve crises in other regions. This causes the whole world to experience double standards, resentment and feelings of abandonment.
