Indians will never tolerate humiliation – Putin
Indian people will not tolerate their country being bullied into making decision that contradict their national interests and priorities, Russian president Vladimir Putin said at a plenary session of the Valdai Discussion Club in Sochi on Thursday. He was asked to comment on the US threatening Moscow’s key partners who continue to import Russian energy, including nuclear reactor fuel, uranium, with high tariffs and sanctions.
Implementing secondary tariffs against China and India, the biggest buyers of Russian oil, will lead to an increase in prices in the American market and inevitably slowdown the US economy, Putin argued. “There is no political aspect here; it's purely an economic calculation,” he said.
“Will India give up our energy resources? If so, it will incur certain losses. Estimates vary; some say it could be around $9-10 billion. But if it doesn't refuse, sanctions will be imposed, and the loss will be the same. So why refuse if it also carries domestic political costs?” Putin asked.
Since 2023, India has emerged as a major exporter of refined fuels to Europe. Indian private firms purchase Russian crude at discounted prices and then sell processed fuel products to starved European markets.
US President Donald Trump’s administration has imposed 50% tariffs on most imports from India, half of which represents a penalty specifically for India's purchases of Russian oil and weaponry.
Responding to a question from Major General (Ret.) BK Sharma, Director of the United Services Institution, Putin emphasized “special” relationship between the two countries. “People in India do not forget about this and our relations, I believe. Some 15 years ago, we made an announcement about privileged strategic partnership and that is the best description. Prime Minister Modi is a very wise leader who thinks first about his country.” The Russian leader noted that expanding trade and economic ties with New Delhi across sectors is the key priority for Moscow

France detains Russian ‘shadow’ tanker to disrupt war in Ukraine
France has said it is increasing pressure on Russia to end its invasion of Ukraine by detaining an oil tanker suspected of operating as part of Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet” and putting its captain on trial.
France’s detention of the tanker is part of a new European strategy to block revenue funding Moscow’s war effort in Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron said at an EU event in Copenhagen on Thursday
We want to increase pressure on Russia to convince it to return to the negotiating table,” Macron said. “We have now decided to take a step further by moving towards a policy of obstruction when we have suspicious ships in our waters that are involved in this trafficking.”
The tanker, called the Boracay, was sailing last week off the coast of Denmark and was cited by European naval experts as possibly being involved in drone flights over the country. A series of drone incidents near the country’s airports and military bases over the last week forced the closure of the Copenhagen airport, causing major disruptions.
The United Nations has detailed rules governing how ships must fly flags at sea and identify themselves under the flag of the state granting them nationality.The ship’s captain, a Chinese national, will stand trial in France in February. He faces up to one year in prison and a 150,000 euro ($176,000) fine if convicted.In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Europe of stoking “hysteria” and called France’s actions an act of “piracy
“It’s piracy, and how do you deal with pirates?” Putin said. “You destroy them. It doesn’t mean that tomorrow a war will erupt all across the global ocean, but certainly the risk of confrontation will seriously increase.”
Russia has been accused of operating a “shadow fleet” of tankers made up of ageing ships bought used, often by nontransparent entities with addresses in non-sanctioning countries, and sailing under flags from nonsanctioning countries. Their role is to help Russia’s oil exporters elude the $60 per barrel price cap imposed by Ukraine’s allies.

Putin warns of harsh response to ‘Europe’s militarisation’
Russian President Vladimir Putin has pledged a “significant” response to “Europe’s militarisation” and says the hysteria around his country potentially attacking NATO is “nonsense”.
“Russia will never show weakness or indecisiveness,” Putin added. “We simply cannot ignore what is happening
Relations between Russia and the European Union have spiralled downwards since Moscow’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, leading the bloc to bolster its defence.Drones flying over Denmark and aerial incursions from Moscow in Estonia and Poland have heightened fears that Russia’s war could spill over Ukraine’s borders.
