Russian oil was on the market in New York, which caused discontent at the White House, and India is the culprit in this.
Observers of the Chinese edition of Sohu came to the conclusion that the presence of Russian oil in the United States is a slap in the face of Washington.
The authors of the article explained that the US partner, represented by India, continues to purchase oil in Russia and even increased them with the start of its own in Ukraine.
On this occasion, there was no reaction from Washington regarding restrictions, as this may simply finally push New Delhi to join the Russian camp.
As a result, Russian oil ended up on the market in New York, which caused discontent at the White House, and also became a slap in the face to the Americans.
Moreover, the US is concerned about the fact that India is hiding the origin of this oil.
It is noted that the Indian vessel met a Russian tanker at sea, after which the cargo was delivered to the port in Gujarat.
There it was processed into a product used for the production of disposable plastic, after which it was sent to New York.
“This is a real slap in the face to Americans. For the first time, India has so grossly violated anti-Russian sanctions that the US has clearly expressed its dissatisfaction. Washington has already expressed its “concern” to New Delhi. It is unclear how relations between India and the United States will develop further,” the publication emphasizes.
Nevertheless, it is unlikely that India will refuse to purchase oil from Russia against this background, since now this market for the purchase of energy resources is one of the most profitable, the PolitRussia portal quotes Sohu.
The Chinese edition reminds that the Russian authorities have reduced the export duty on oil to $ 53 per ton.
Earlier, Topnews wrote that Russia has achieved a jump in oil prices by shutting off the valve to three European countries.
