US Senator Lindsey Graham has renewed criticism of India, China and Brazil for purchasing Russian oil, accusing them of funding Moscows war in Ukraine. His remarks followed deadly Russian missile strikes on Kyiv that killed at least 23 people, including children. Graham warned of consequences for buyers of discounted Russian crude, linking oil revenue to Russias war effort. The comments come amid rising trade tensions between Washington and New Delhi, with India rejecting steep new US tariffs as “unjustified and unreasonable.”
