00:00If India could take up the Russian offer of discounted crude oil, what would be your message
00:07to India?
00:08Think about where you want to stand when the history books are written in this moment in
00:11time.
00:12I would again like to reiterate, in the first nine months of the year, we have imported
00:16only 0.2% of our requirements.
00:47Our message to any country continues to be that, obviously, abide by the sanctions, but
00:54that we have put in place and recommended.
00:56I don't believe this would be violating that.
00:59But also think about where you want to stand when the history books are written in this
01:03moment in time, and support for the Russian leadership is support for an invasion that
01:11obviously is having a devastating impact.
01:46I would again like to reiterate, in the first nine months of the year, we have imported
02:10only 0.2% of our requirements.
02:14Even if we were to scale these up considerably, it would still be a drop, literally a drop
02:20in a larger bucket.
