EU Sanctions on Indian Firms for Russian Ties
The European Union has sanctioned entities, including Indian firms, for their alleged connections with Russia amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
Why This Matters
Sanctions on countries and companies resonate with not only international relations but also economic stability and global supply chains.
Public Sentiment Summary
Public sentiment regarding the EU sanctions on India primarily revolves around skepticism and resistance. Many commenters view the sanctions as ineffective and indicative of Western hypocrisy, asserting that India will continue its economic ties with Russia despite external pressure. Opinions are divided, with some advocating for stronger alliances among non-Western countries and others criticizing the Indian government for its foreign policy decisions, which they see as overly compliant with Western interests. Overall, there is a strong undercurrent of nationalism and calls for autonomy in international relations.

Sanctions are testing the limits of Indian independence and sovereignty. I believe these values are held high in India.
EU is a big hypocrite, complains about Russia, but ramps up its purchase of Russian gas, then goes on to lecture other countries.
India will not bend down at all to any kind of direct or indirect pressure tactics by any Nation including USA.
Long live Sino-Russo Friendship! Down with US Hegemony!
Modi cares zero, his voter base is not impacted by this. His buddies keep earning millions by selling cheap oil.
