Amid US tariffs on Russian crude, India emerges as Ukraine’s leading supplier of diesel

India becomes Ukraine’s top diesel supplier amid US tariffs over Russian crude: Report

New Delhi, Aug 30 India has become Ukraine’s largest diesel supplier, despite facing a 50% tariff from the US. The US alleges that India is indirectly supporting Russia’s war against Ukraine by buying Russian crude. In July 2025,

India supplied 15.5% of Ukraine’s total diesel imports, the highest share from any country. From January to July 2025, India’s share of Ukraine’s diesel supply increased to 10.2%. Analysts noted that a portion of these exports could include diesel refined from Russian-origin crude.

The development comes amid intensifying trade tensions between India and the US, with President Trump imposing 50% tariffs since August 27.
