'Attempts to obstruct ties with India will fail', reaffirms Russia amid Trump's pressure to curb oil trade

Amid US pressure for other countries to adopt Washington-style tariffs on Indian goods over its purchase of Russian oil, Moscow on Sunday reaffirmed its strong ties with New Delhi. The Russian Foreign Ministry told state media outlet RT that the relationship between the two countries is "steadily and confidently advancing" and warned that "any attempt to obstruct this process is destined to fail." The ministry also praised India for maintaining its commitments despite continuous pressure from the US and NATO countries. "Frankly, anything else would be hard to imagine," Russian officials said, highlighting India's steadfast approach in the face of external threats and criticism.
