At a time when the United States is mounting pressure on India over importing oil from Russia, Russian Security Council Deputy Secretary Mikhail Popov has exposed the duplicity of the US. He claimed that the US increased crude oil supplies from Russia by 43 percent, or 100,000 barrels per day, in the previous week.
He exposed the Biden administration's double standard while giving an interview to a private news channel.
"The US forced the Europeans to impose sanctions against Russia, while they themselves not only continue to import oil from Russia but also increased the volume of supplies of the black gold by 43 percent over the past week, to 100,000 barrels per day!" said Popov.
He also stressed that "Washington does not allow Europeans to take similar measures for the time being." "Moreover, Washington allowed its companies to export mineral fertilizers from Russia, recognizing them as essential goods," Popov added.
It should be noted that the US and European allies have imposed severe sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. Western allies have also banned all imports of Russian oil and gas and energy.
Moreover, the US is also putting pressure on India to stop importing oil from Russia. The Biden administration has warned India, saying India should not increase its oil imports from Russia and it could expose New Delhi to a "great risk".
