Deeply shocking to read this official US statement, which contains absolutely no expression of regret or condolence for the loss of innocent Indian lives. How can a “friend” and strategic partner be so deeply insensitive?
Why couldn’t a non-compliant commercial vessel have been stopped using other, non-lethal means? Is it not possible to disable a ship's propulsion or steering without firing missiles targeted to kill civilian crew members?
Practically every merchant ship navigating these crucial waters has Indian crew on board. Are they all considered fair game for US missiles now?
This approach is unacceptable and I hope @DrSJaishankar had said so to @marcorubio.
#WATCH | Finland: On US President EAM Dr S Jaishankar says, "... We didn't buy significant amount of Russian oil till 2022. Circumstances compelled us to get into that market and I must say the Russians have been steady suppliers because they put the cargoes out there and you go out there and buy oil, whichever is the most reasonable and available oil. I do want people to remember this. At that time, the US specifically asked India to buy Russian oil to stabilize the world markets. Right now, if you see, after having first put tariffs on us last year for buying Russian oil, the US then again lifted its sanctions. So let's not pretend that there is some great principle involved here. I mean if it is on, off, on, off and do it when it suits us and don't do it when it doesn't suit us. Come on, we are all adults in the room, we know what the game is. I don't think making this about sanctimony is really warranted..."
EAM adds, "Today our largest oil supplier. Little less than 40% is Russia. Our largest gas supply is the United States and that was not the case till 28th February of this year. The main supplier was Qatar. So what is happening is the world is also de-risking on the region. People are looking for alternative energy sources..."
