Russia has helped India secure its energy needs as a growing nation, but the US is against it, with Washington occasionally pressuring New Delhi not to buy oil from Russia.
The US is trying to deprive India of the benefits of profitable purchases of Russian oil, while Moscow is continuously helping to secure its energy needs, the Russian Foreign Ministry has said.

"For many years, Russia has been contributing to India's energy security. Energy supplies, along with the implementation of the Kudankulam nuclear power plant construction project, are an important part of this work. By processing the black gold purchased from us at a favorable price, Indian companies are steadily increasing their own competitiveness in the global market. Washington and its satellites want to deprive our partners of this advantage," the ministry said in a statement on Friday.

The Russian Foreign Ministry also emphasised the West's desire to impose its doctrinal version of the "Indo-Pacific" on South Asian countries, which is built according to NATO patterns.

"And Russia sees this. At the same time, it is obvious that this sub-region as a whole does not need any external mentoring, especially heavy-handed mentoring," it stated.

“In addition, India and Pakistan, which are important participants in the processes of building a non-bloc space cross-border interconnectedness, work in other formats with a positive, creative agenda, such as the SCO. Other subregional players who are interested in solving vital issues of sustainable development and prosperity are focused on similar tasks," the ministry said.

There have been active attempts by the US and its allies to destroy the regional security architecture and to take NATO into new geographical contours, more in the context of the East Asian zone, he noted.
