At the Kultaranta Talks in Finland, India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar delivered a forceful defense of India's energy security and independent foreign policy amid questions over Russian oil imports and the Russia-Ukraine war. Addressing criticism from Western nations, Jaishankar argued that India makes energy decisions based on "cost and availability" while highlighting what he described as inconsistencies in global approaches to sanctions and security. The discussion also covered the future of multilateralism, geopolitical neutrality, Middle East tensions, supply chain resilience, and the changing balance of global power. In one of the most talked-about moments of the panel, Jaishankar stated, "No European country has been attacked with Indian weapons. I wish I could say that for European weapons in India," sparking a broader debate on strategic autonomy, energy security, and international relations.
