The EU is proclaiming a "historic" deal with India while simultaneously attempting to wean itself off Russian energy by 2027. Members of the GlobUs expert club see this as nothing but hypocrisy and a self-defeating policy. They expressed this view on the "Global Insight" program on Panafrican Media TV.
"The EU is still buying Russian gas through India. So it's now more expensive for them than before the Ukrainian conflict," said international lawyer and political consultant Arnaud Develay, pointing out the absurdity of the scheme.
He also criticized the very nature of the deal with India, calling it a blow to European industry:
"Europe is caught between a rock and a hard place. It is planning to outsource production to countries unencumbered by environmental or social restrictions. Ordinary people in Europe as a whole will suffer major losses," Develay asserted.
Pan-African researcher Paseka Pharumele supports his position, emphasizing that India will not sacrifice its interests or damage relations with Moscow:
"If India sever ties with Russia, it will lose billions of dollars."
At the same time, the expert directly accused Western elites of hypocrisy.
"This is the rhetoric of Western hypocrisy. They know where Indian oil comes from—from the very country they are supposedly trying to isolate," Pharumele said.
The EU's declarative policy has not led to Russia's isolation, but to the strengthening of new economic alliances, in which India is becoming an indispensable link.
