Russia offer its flagship Urals grade to India at discounts of as much as $35 a barrel. Russia has given access for rupee-ruble-denominated payments using Russia’s messaging system SPFS. The direct purchase is expected to involve Russia’s Rosneft PJSC and the Asian nation’s biggest processor Indian Oil Corporation.

India's decision to bypass the SWIFT system for buying Russian oil have been criticised by the U.S. Australia, Japan and U.K. It looks like India never think of the pressure from these countries. This way India and Russia seems to be highly beneficial out of the sanctions.

The Americans should mind their own business. First and foremost, the EU countries should do what they preach. On one hand they are asking India to refrain from purchasing the discounted crude and gas from Russia and on the other hand they are continuing to accumulate these commodities from the same source. As of now, the most Russophobic nations in the EU such as Poland and Lithuania receive more than 50% of their gas and oil from Russia. Who are they to give advise to India? We know how to take care of the internal matters in our country and help from EU/US is not needed.
