Amid growing Western scrutiny of India’s Russian oil purchases, Finnish President Alexander Stubb has voiced support for New Delhi’s sovereign foreign policy. In an interview with Firstpost Managing Editor Palki Sharma, President Stubb said, “India is a big, independent player—it makes its own decisions in foreign policy.” His comments come as the U.S. imposes 25% tariffs on Indian exports, even as China and European nations continue energy trade with Russia.
