United States Secretary of State on 14 February said that the US has secured “commitment to stop buying additional Russian oil” during trade and tariff discussions with India.
“In our conversations with India, we have gotten their commitment to stop buying additional Russian oil,” Rubio stated.
Notably, the Trump administration leader has not clarified whether this also includes existing contracts and all purchases from Russia.

The statement came while Rubio was addressing US sanctions on Russia and the country’s moves to secure peace in Ukraine. He added that finding terms that “Ukraine can live with and that Russia will accept” has been “elusive up to this point”.
He was speaking at the 62nd Munich Security Conference (MSC) on 14 February in Munich, southern Germany. Various heads of state, defense ministers and foreign ministers are expected to be in attendance at the three-day event from 13-15 February 2026, according to an AFP report.
