In a strong statement issued on Sunday, Russian oil giant Rosneft denounced the European Union's sanctions against its Indian subsidiary, Nayara Energy, labeling them as unjustified and illegal.
The EU's decision to impose these sanctions came as part of a broader strategy to penalize Russia over its ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which also included new banking restrictions and a lowered oil price cap, compelling Russia to sell oil at reduced rates.
Rosneft has emphasized that Nayara Energy is independently managed and crucial to India's energy stability, arguing that the EU's actions threaten India's economic interests and undermine international law.
