NATO Raises Alarm on Russia Trade
NATO chief Mark Rutte has warned India, China, and Brazil of possible secondary sanctions. These nations have continued economic ties with Russia despite the ongoing Ukraine war.
He stressed that neutrality is no longer viable in today’s global landscape. Rutte believes economic support for Russia helps fuel its military actions in Ukraine.
West Seeks Greater Accountability
Western nations have imposed heavy sanctions on Russia. However, ongoing trade from non-Western powers has limited their impact.
Rutte stated, “Remaining neutral while engaging in trade with Moscow risks enabling its aggression.”
Trump Echoes NATO’s Concerns
Former U.S. President Donald Trump recently criticized Putin. He accused the Russian leader of using diplomacy as a cover for violence.
Trump’s comments reflect growing bipartisan pressure in the U.S. and Europe. Both sides now expect global partners to align more clearly with Western policies.
India and China Under Global Watch
India has increased its oil imports from Russia. China continues strong diplomatic and trade ties with Moscow.
While these countries claim neutrality, NATO leaders argue their actions suggest otherwise. Many fear these ties help prolong the war.
So far, India’s government has not responded to NATO’s warning. China has defended its right to trade based on its own interests.
