Amid escalating international tensions, Indian officials have taken a resolute stand on continuing oil imports from Russia. Despite U.S. President Donald Trump's threats of imposing penalties, India remains committed to securing its energy needs, as reported by the New York Times.

The decision underscores India's strategic approach to maintaining its energy independence and bolstering its economic interests. However, this stance has the potential to strain diplomatic relations with the United States.
