BREAKING NEWS: Trump announces 25% tariff on India for buying oil from Russia

US President Donald Trump announced that he would impose a 25% tariff on imported goods from India from August 1, 2025, as the country is one of the largest importers of Russian oil.

Trump announced this on his social network Truth Social,  Censor.NET reports .

Among the reasons, the US president cited India’s purchase of Russian energy resources and military equipment.

“Although India is our friend, for many years we have done relatively little business with it because its customs tariffs are too high, among the highest in the world, and it also has the most stringent and burdensome non-monetary trade barriers of any country. In addition, it has always purchased the vast majority of its military equipment from Russia and is the largest buyer of Russian energy, along with China,” he noted.

Trump stressed that everyone in the world wants “Russia to stop killing in Ukraine” because “this is not a good thing.”

He noted that in addition to the 25% tariff on imported goods from India, the country will also pay a “penalty” for the above-mentioned economic cooperation with Russia. Trump did not specify the amount of the fine.

  4. A Ukrainian Officer Just Got Caught Leaking F-16 Secrets to Russia

    The Ukrainian Air Force major is only the latest officer to be accused of spying for Russia—which has made major efforts to undermine Kyiv through bribery and ideological recruitment.
    A Ukrainian Air Force officer was arrested for allegedly sharing the location of Kyiv’s F-16 Fighting Falcon and Mirage 2000 fighter jets to Russia. The unidentified officer is reported to be a flight instructor who holds the rank of major. He is accused of sharing coordinates and even “suggesting strike tactics” against the facilities, the Security Service of Ukraine said in a statement on Wednesday morning, according to Reuters.

    “In particular, the enemy’s priority targets were airfields where F-16s, Mirage 2000s, and Su-24s were based,” the SBU explained. The statement added that the agent had “collected the coordinates of the location of these aircraft, schedules and … the order of their departure.”

    Kyiv has kept a tight lid on where it has based its Western-supplied aircraft, as well as its older Sukhoi Su-24 (NATO reporting name “Fencer”) all-weather tactical bombers. The F-16 and Mirage 2000 have proven vital in Ukraine’s efforts to counter Russian air strikes on the more than three-and-a-half-year-long conflict.

    The Ukrainian officer was recruited through his ex-wife, who is reported to be a collaborator with the Russian occupying forces in Melitopol. According to the SBU, she had previously served in the Ukrainian military as well.

    The military officer was charged under Part 2 of Article 28 and Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, “high treason committed by a group of individuals under martial law,” Ukrinform.net reported. His ex-wife was charged in absentia with treason. Both face potential life sentences with confiscation of property.
