Скачать или смотреть India Reduces Russian Oil Imports | Does It Signal Major Geo-Political Shift?

In February 2026, India significantly reduced its oil imports from Russia following a new trade agreement with the United States. Reports indicate nearly a 40% drop in imports, raising serious questions about India's long-standing strategic partnership with Russia.

Is this a temporary tactical move — or a major geopolitical shift?

In this episode of CPDI PeaceTalks, we analyze:
• Why the US imposed punitive tariffs on India
• Whether Trump pressured India to cut Russian oil
• The economic impact on India’s refineries and trade balance
• Is India abandoning its multi-alignment policy?
• Strategic implications for South Asia
• What lessons Pakistan and Bangladesh should learn

Is India prioritizing economic pragmatism over strategic autonomy?
Or is this a calculated diplomatic balancing act?
