European Commission’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas, claimed that India’s continued engagement with Russia is something that 'stands in the way of closer ties.'
The former US officials asserted that it is imperative for US partners to “impress on their Indian interlocutors that US President Donald Trump's theatrics are often the prelude to dealmaking."
The same US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent who accused India of profiteering from Russia-Ukraine war, was seen gloating over US’s strategy of selling weapons to Europe intended for Ukraine with a 10% markup.
