Talk about being a “decisive enabler”:
India has increased its imports of Russian oil by approximately 1,800% since before the war in Ukraine began.

— While India's increase was substantial, China only increased its Russian oil imports by 43% during the same period.
— India's increased imports have compensated for almost 70% of Russia's revenue loss from the European Union.
— India's purchases have put $37 billion into Moscow's coffers, undermining Western sanctions aimed at isolating Russia economically.

I hope EU is prepared to sanction everyone at this moment.

One of the West’s biggest geopolitical mistakes right now is courting India in order to counter China. They are repeating the mistake of the US when it courted China to counter the Soviet Union. It seems Western leaders never learn from their mistakes.

India has proven over and over again that it is not trustworthy and once it has enough power on its own it will turn against the West.

Norway has agreed to transfer an IRIS-T SLM air defense battery to Ukraine in cooperation with Germany . The battery will arrive in Ukraine during the fall.
