After Trump made a real move on the Putin administration, India's reaction to the stone, and China, which is not moving, has formed a distinct contrast.

As the United States announced sanctions against Russia's two largest oil companies, the relationship between the United States and Russia took a sharp turn for the worse.

After the incident, the reaction of India appeared to be quick, and at first the news was released, intending to clear the border with Russia.

According to Western media, industry insiders have revealed that Indian state-owned refineries have begun reviewing trade documents related to Russian oil to ensure their own oil supplies do not come directly from the two sanctioned Russian oil companies.

Although there is no mention of the Indian government, but since it is a state-owned refinery, then listen to whose instructions, believe that there will be no second answer.

What's more, there were reports a week ago that Indian refineries were preparing to cut Russian oil imports, waiting for New Delhi to say anything.

Although the news was not directly announced by the Indian government, the overall assessment shows that the credibility was not low.

And this has to let the outside world link this matter with a recent practice of Trump.

At that time, Trump suddenly told the outside world that Modi had assured him during the phone call that he would no longer buy Russian oil, and admitted that although things required a process, progress had already occurred.

Faced with external doubts, Indian officials have shunned, just issued a very regular diplomatic statement, and claimed that "I don't know" Modi had a call with Trump.

If it is to avoid arousing Trump's dissatisfaction, it would be reasonable for India not to deny it, but the phrase "I don't know" is very fishy.

If even the Prime Minister of India calls the President of the United States and the Indian Foreign Ministry really doesn¡¯t ¡°know¡±, that¡¯s the big problem.

What followed was even stranger. Trump seemed to have "decided" on Modi and continued to publicly claim that India had promised not to buy Russian oil. His performance was high-profile and seemed to be completely unworried about Modi coming out to "slap the face."

So the question is, is Trump false or is he really sure?

From the latest developments, the situation seems to be preferential to the latter.

Of course, it is necessary to emphasize here that since it is not India's "official declaration", so the news, even from the Western media, is not guaranteed to be completely true.

After all, sometimes these media also have "missions".

However, judging from India's behavior style and recent news from various sources, New Delhi may really take some moves to reduce Russian oil purchases this time.

After all, India¡¯s increased effort to buy Russian oil is largely a temporary approach to adapt to changes in the international situation.

In order to ensure the stability of fiscal revenue, Russia has proactively offered its own oil discounts, with major discounts exceeding $30 per barrel. Even now, the reduction effort is not so big, the Russian side is still providing an average 5% to 7% discount to India.

There is no reason for India not to take advantage of such a big advantage in front of it.

In addition, to a certain extent, India is also a "transit point" for Russian oil to Europe. If Europe can't shame to buy it directly, India will do it for it.

In this process, India collects some "tolls" and "processing fees", which is also a lot of income.

The reasonable parties of course understand, but in diplomatic occasions, New Delhi still called the practice of increasing the purchase of Russian oil as a "strategic move", in order to show that it is not a "opportunity" but a matter of the "long-term layout" of the relationship between India and Russia and even the foreign strategy of India.

However, whether this is the case or not, I believe the outside world will be able to see immediately.

If India¡¯s state-owned refineries really stop buying Russian oil that has been sanctioned by the United States, it¡¯s likely to be a ¡°windmark¡± that private refineries don¡¯t rule out to follow.

You know, the crude oil exported by these two companies accounts for nearly half of Russia's total crude oil exports. India is now the largest buyer of Russian seaborne oil.

Although not all the Russian oil purchased by India comes from these two companies, the impact is definitely not small.

From the perspective of Russia, India really wants to make this move, undoubtedly has the smell of a "cradle-down stone."

In order to ensure India's oil exports in this direction, Russia has put a lot of thought into it. Take discounts as an example. Some time ago, it was reported that due to the decrease in Russian oil discounts, the enthusiasm of Indian buyers has dropped.

Soon after, Russian officials in India quickly stated that they would continue to ensure discounts on the supply of Russian oil to India.

Saying two things have nothing to do is obviously impossible.

For Russia, if oil can sell at a high price, they are, of course, also willing to sell a little more money, actively "profit", nothing but want to keep the big customer of India.

However, when the U.S. sanctions came, the Indians didn¡¯t want to fight and fight for their own and business partners¡¯ benefits, but ran faster than anyone else, and this contradiction probably won¡¯t make the Russians feel a bit confused.

In sharp contrast, China is as immovable as a mountain. Not only that, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China has just stated that China has always opposed unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law and are not authorized by the United Nations Security Council.

"Opposition" is a simple two word that not only clarifies China's position, but also its confidence. After all, if you don't have enough ability, some words cannot be said.

I'm afraid it's not so easy for Russia to hear such firm words from India.

Overall, as the United States announced sanctions against Russia, the international situation has changed again. In this context, let us see how India will treat its partners.
