Russia denies India halted oil purchases, despite Trump's claim of a new trade deal.

Russia says it has received no official word from India about halting Russian oil purchases, contradicting claims by former U.S. President Donald Trump that India agreed to end such imports as part of a new trade deal. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated Moscow has not been notified of any policy change, emphasizing that bilateral relations remain strong. India has not confirmed or denied the alleged agreement, leaving the situation unclear.
