> India received Lawrow recently, he is not allowed in any EU country.

And? Your point? Speaking to diplomats is suddenly taboo?

> India is not dependent on Russian oil

No. But, it is dependent on oil and gas being cheap enough to make basic inputs with. It is a region and country on the brink of poverty in many ways. What did you expect?

You can speak on phone, receiving one from countries killing civilians on purpose is making a statement. If you make a statement you will be heard, and I don't think many EU countries will be happy. Not to mention, you know humanitarian aspects - you can buy your oil without blood.

Not everyone shares those sentiments -- and that's all they are, just sentiments.

And, why hasn't the EU shut off all oil and gas purchases from Russia immediately?

Why should a poor country support this sanctions regime and then witness massive internal disruption?

Most of the countries and populations of the world have in fact NOT imposed sanctions.

Because they let themselves get too dependent on foreign energy, so doing so would have meant letting their own people freeze.

And, India needs cheap oil and gas to make fertilizers to feed its population.
