An unscripted sharp exchange Thursday between External Affairs minister S Jaishankar and his counterpart, visiting British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, highlighted the divergences between New Delhi and London on the issue of sanctions on Russia.

With Secretary Truss listening, Jaishankar said that talk of sanctions "looks like a campaign" and it was Europe that was buying more oil from Russia than before the war.

While the British Foreign Secretary repeatedly talked about Russian aggression, Jaishankar did not name Russia in his statements during the 45-minute panel discussion at the first India-UK Strategic Futures Forum, jointly organised by Indian Council of World Affairs and Policy Exchange. This followed a bilateral meeting.

Jaishankar responded by underlining that in March, Europe had bought 15 per cent more oil and gas from Russia than it did the month before. "If you look at the major buyers of oil and gas from Russia, I think you'll find most of them are in Europe. We ourselves get the bulk of our energy supplies from the Middle East, about 7.5-8 pc of our oil from the US in the past, maybe less than percent from Russia."
