Where’s indias aid to Russia?

And it’s politics. The power of words is immense.

Words aren't going to save the lives of Ukrainian soldiers.

India is buying Russian oil and propping up Russia's resource-based economy. But yes, like China, they aren't providing lethal military aid.

Because India needs oil. A lot of it and for cheap. India is also buying US weapons and phasing out Russian ones.

It’s almost like India is a country with its own interests and doesn’t treat the world as one giant chess match between Russia and the US.

You know. Like Latin America.

In the context of the war in Ukraine? Nobody is saying that the world is, but that the war in Ukraine is. Latin America doesn't want to get involved in a chess match between the US and Russia... I'm glad we agree lol.

The only people framing the geopolitical relationship with the EUas part of this so called chess match is you.

You never did present that evidence I asked for by the way. So we are done here.

I mean, we've already established that the members of the EU that are supporting Ukraine is exactly (somehow) the members of NATO... I'm not really sure what you're asking for.
