Threats to India have exposed US as unreliable partner: Russia | India News

NEW DELHI: The West is undermining its relations with India by issuing threats and sanctions connected to New Delhi’s relationship with Moscow, Russian ambassador to India Denis Alipov said, according to Russia’s RT news network.The ambassador said that US and EU with their sanction threats had exposed themselves as unreliable actors. “Through these threats and measures, the West is planting a time bomb under its own relations with India, deliberately demonstrating its unreliability… The threats coming from US certainly do not inspire trust… They only further highlight the unreliability of US as a partner,” he said.According to the report, Alipov said Moscow has never built its ties with New Delhi at the expense of others, while Washington, in pursuit of its own economic gains, is undermining not only Russia’s interests but also those of India.“No one considers these actions legitimate, and they’re being roundly condemned,” Alipov said, adding that India’s energy security will drive its foreign policy decisions.
