Russian foreign minister appreciates India’s response to Ukraine crisis

NEW DELHI: Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov hailed India as a friend not taking a “one-sided view” on the Ukraine war and vowed to increase use of non-Western currencies for trade.

Sergei Lavrov visited India to shore up support from a country Russia has long regarded as an ally a day after US and British officials pressed India to avoid undermining the dollar-based financial system and sanctions imposed on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.

Ahead of the visit, Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia appreciated India’s response to the Ukraine crisis. “We appreciate that India taking this situation in the entirety of facts and not just in a one sided way,” Lavrov said in a statement before talks with his Indian counterpart.

India and China are the only major countries that have not condemned what Russia calls its “special military operation”. After Lavrov visited China this week, Beijing said it was determined to develop bilateral ties with Russia.

“We are friends,” Lavrov told a news conference after meeting his Indian counterpart, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, adding India saw the Ukraine crisis in the “entirety of facts and not just in a one-sided way”.

Lavrov said Russia’s central bank had several years ago established a system for the communication of financial information and India had a similar system. “It is absolutely clear that more and more transactions would be done through this system using national currencies, bypassing dollar, euro and other currencies,” he said.

Russia is the biggest supplier of defence equipment to India and Lavrov said the two countries would use a rupee-rouble mechanism to trade oil, military hardware and other goods. “We will be ready to supply any goods which India wants to buy,” he said.

“I have no doubt that a way would be (found) to bypass the artificial impediments which illegal unilateral sanctions by the West create. This relates also to the area of military technical cooperation.”

Lavrov said there was some movement forward in negotiations with Ukraine. “Non-nuclear, non-bloc, neutral status – it is now being recognised as absolutely necessary,” he said. Lavrov said Russia would be open to India mediating between Ukraine and Russia but he had not heard of any such proposal, while Jaishankar said India stood for the peaceful resolution of disputes.

India has bought millions of barrels of crude oil from Russia at a discount, justifying the purchases as beneficial for its citizens and something that even European countries are doing. India has also contracted to buy sunflower oil from Russia at a record high price after supplies from Ukraine stopped due to the war.

Speaking on a visit to New Delhi on Thursday, US Deputy National Security Adviser for International Economics, Daleep Singh said Washington would not set any “red line” for India on its energy imports from Russia but did not want to see a “rapid acceleration” in purchases. read more

British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss also said on a visit to India on Thursday that Britain respected India’s decision to buy discounted Russian oil, while advocating stringent sanctions on Russia relating to the ports, gold and energy sectors.

Singh voiced US.concern about Russia’s bid to circumvent the financial restrictions that the West hope will press it to end its war in Ukraine. “We would not like to see mechanisms that are designed to prop up the rouble or to undermine the dollar-based financial system, or to circumvent our financial sanctions,” he said.
