  "account": "Russian envoy Denis Alipov claimed that a senior US official publicly admitted that Washington would not allow India to become a competitor like China. Alipov noted this remark during this year's Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi, describing it as a \"Freudian slip.\" He stated that the US would take measures to contain India as it grows stronger, referring to the Graham Act as an example. The US has recently sanctioned India and Russia over crude oil purchases, but Alipov emphasized that India is purchasing Russian oil for its own economic benefit. He predicted that the US would continue to pressure India as it rises in global influence, potentially increasing its pressure tactics.",
  "summary": "The envoy’s remarks come as India faces US pressure over its purchase of Russian crude oil, especially after the Graham Act was signed into law.",
