Russia criticizes U.S. sanctions as 'neocolonial,' aiming to resist them with BRICS support.

Russia's Foreign Ministry criticized the U.S. for imposing sanctions and tariffs, calling it a 'neocolonial agenda' that pressures countries to align with U.S. foreign policy. Russia, supported by BRICS nations, aims to deepen cooperation to resist these sanctions and promote a more equitable international order. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump plans to raise tariffs on India for buying Russian oil, a move India defends as necessary for affordable energy.
