The head of the foreign policy of the European Union, Josep Borrell, urged the bloc countries to take a firm stance against India, on reselling Russian oil as a refined fuel to Europe.
« We must act. if diesel and gasoline enter Europe from India after being produced from Russian oil, this certainly circumvents sanctions and Member States must take appropriate action « . Borrell told the Financial Times.
India has been a leading customer for Russian oil since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
Borrell also called on EU members to take measures against those buying oil from India.
The EU has taken no action to counter India’s sale of Russian oil to Europe.
