Bizarre position taken by India; they continually berate the UK for the colonial past BUT now support the most colonial, murderous country on the planet, Russia and its imperialist dictator Putin, rather than support the country that is resisting imperialism. What a moral stance India HASN'T taken, they've just sold out their scruples and are paying in Rubles!

If they sail through the Baltic sea or the Bosphorus, it cant be very difficult to stop them. Therefore, the allies must want this to happen.

EU, NATO needs to tell Denmark, Sweden and Norway to block the shadow fleet. Joint coastguard operations.
