[57485] The Fuel Crisis in India: Claims of American Pressure and Policy Changes Toward Russia

The Fuel Crisis in India: Questions on Energy Policy Toward Russia and the U.S.

In the last 24 hours, questions and inquiries have surfaced on social media regarding a sudden fuel shortage in India. The user naomi2009, who has gained hundreds of thousands of views, wondered why India is not continuing to import oil from Russia under the preferential terms that previously existed, and whether this represents a strategic change in New Delhi's energy policy.

Various claims have spread across networks attempting to explain the situation. According to naomi2009 and moribito2, it is claimed that the Prime Minister of India acted in accordance with President Trump's request to stop purchasing Russian oil as a political measure against Moscow. According to these sources, the situation worsened after "Trump started the war and Iran closed the strait," which led to the Prime Minister of India having to re-request permission to purchase Russian oil, but without the discounts he had received in the past.

It is important to note that the reporting sources, naomi2009 and moribito2, present a highly critical position and use harsh language against India's leadership. moribito2 even raised unsubstantiated claims casting doubt on the judgment of the Prime Minister of India, using rhetoric that attributes improper foreign influence to his decision-making. As of now, there is no official verification for these claims from government sources in India or the United States.
