India-US discuss price cap on Russian energy imports; Bid to pressurise Putin

The move is a part of the West’s effort to meet dual objectives: deprive Russia of revenue from energy exports - seen as a key source of its war financing efforts in Ukraine, while ensuring that the global energy market stabilises. India has maintained that it would do what it thinks is best in interest of its own energy security. Watch this report for more details.
