Putin To India Today: 'If The US Has The Right To Buy Our Fuel, Why Shouldn't India Have The Same Privilege?'
In a world exclusive interview with India Today, Russian President Vladimir Putin addresses critical geopolitical issues, including the Ukraine war and relations with the US under Donald Trump. Defending India’s purchase of Russian oil, Putin argues, "If the US has the right to buy our fuel, why shouldn't India have the same privilege?" citing American imports of Russian nuclear fuel. He reveals details of a grueling five-hour meeting with Trump’s envoys, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, admitting, "Frankly, even I grew weary of it." Putin expresses confidence that Trump "sincerely aims for a peaceful resolution" to the Ukraine conflict, though he notes the complexity of the peace proposal. The President also discusses US tariffs, stating Trump acts in "good faith" for the US economy, and mentions letters from American companies eager to resume business in Russia.
