    On December 5, local time, German Foreign Minister Baerbock visited India, one of the purposes of this trip is to try to persuade India to join the ranks of limiting the price of Russian oil
    .
    Indian Foreign Minister Jaishankar Jaishankar said after talks with visiting German Foreign Minister Baerbock that India will continue to buy oil

    fossil fuels from Russia than India since the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
