India's reliance on discounted Russian oil could face consequences. The US has threatened secondary sanctions and tariffs on nations trading with Russia if a ceasefire isn't reached by September 2nd.

India, now Russia's top oil importer, insists it has diversified its sources, but potential sanctions could significantly impact its economy and Russia's war effort.
