Russia has accused the US of attempting to prevent India and other countries from buying Russian oil, saying Washington is using a wide range of “coercive” measures, including tariffs, sanctions and direct prohibitions, to fulfil its objective of global economic dominance.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also accused the US of using “unfair methods” to suppress competitors by imposing sanctions on Russian oil companies.
