    India's External Affairs Minister Jaishankar defended India's decision to buy discounted Russian oil amid the Ukraine war. He said India has been open about protecting its interests as a developing country with a per capita income of $2,000, where people cannot afford higher energy prices. While some countries may not agree with India's position, they have accepted it as India has not taken a defensive stance but instead explained its moral duty to ensure affordable energy for its people. Jaishankar said many of India's other oil suppliers have diverted shipments to Europe as it buys less Russian oil.
