Speaking at the Doha Forum, Jaishankar gave a stern reply to the 'criticism' on India's purchase of Russian oil, while strongly asserting that the world is realising the need to enter the negotiation table to resolve the near three-year long Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Being asked about getting 'cheap oil' from Russia, Jaishankar in a stern reply said, "I get oil, yes. It is not necessarily cheap. Do you have a better deal?" (ANI)
