India-US 2+2 Meet: Jaishankar Slams West’s Hypocrisy On Russian Oil Purchase & Putin’s Ukraine War

India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar defended India's position on Russian oil purchases and Ukraine war in Washington, DC on April 12. Slamming western hypocrisy, Jaishankar said India's total purchase for the month would be less than what Europe buys in an afternoon. Jaishankar also said that India has urged both Ukraine and Russia for urgent cessation of violence. He also said that India is prepared to contribute in whatever way it can. The crucial 2+2 dialogue comes as Europe sees one of the worst wars in decades. At the 2+2 dialogue, Blinken also acknowledged India’s help to Ukraine amid the conflict. While India has abstained from voting at the United Nations against Russia, it has repeatedly called for an end to the violence.

*"Our Purchases For A Month Would Be Much Less Than What Europe Does In An Afternoon" To The Point Hard Hitting*

[aprilfool]

"World is changing"...But he is actually quoting "India is changing"...

[princevegeta]

The best part was after this conference.
Blinken : "We are concerned about Human rights violations in India"
*S Jaishankar : "We too are concerned about Human rights violations in the US. I mean look at yesterday's attack"*

Great to see India standing up against pressure from the west and continuing to be the leader of the non aligned movement. Love from a Chinese brother

[WalkOverHotCoal]

India is lucky to have such a no nonsense and assertive Foreign Minister. I bet Blinken gets a rude awakening that India is not a pushover as he initially imagined. Much respect to Mr. S Jaishankar.

[michaelafubwa]

The guy speaks softly in a non threatening manner but his facts pierce like knives. Every nation looks after itself. The hypocrisy of West is laid bare for the world to see. India has the potential to be a super power if it gets its act together and not kowtow to US and the West. Make the rest of the black and brown world proud.

[MGZetta]

You have no idea how much respect India got with one sentence.

[Joaocruz]

Go India! I know we were there in the 1500`s and conquered Goa, Damão and Diu, etc etc. In the name of our people Im sorry for the atrocities and all the chaos and damaged caused, In my name, the name of my Nation I beg You to forgive us. From Portugal To India with Love!
