Oil alone won’t end the Ukraine war, Jaishankar tells Kyiv

During his first visit to Kyiv, Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said halting Russian oil purchases won’t stop Moscow’s war on Ukraine, stressing that the conflict will be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy rather than battlefield moves. He noted India’s status as a major buyer and called for mutual respect of positions as it seeks fuel security for its 1.4 billion people, while referencing U.S. tariff pressures on Russia-related energy trade and possible moves targeting top oil buyers.
