Doha (Qatar), December 08 (ANI): External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday, 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?""I do think today, the needle is moving more towards the reality of the negotiation than the continuation of the war...We are going to Moscow, talking to President Putin, going to Kyiv, engaging President Zelenskyy, meeting them in other places, trying to see if we can encourage find common threads that can be picked up at some point in time when the circumstances are right to be developed," he said.
