In a statement carried by state news agency TASS, Channel One said that "an incident took place with an extraneous woman in shot. An internal check is being carried out."
TASS cited a law enforcement source as saying the woman has been detained and could be charged under legislation banning public acts that aim to "discredit the use of Russia's armed forces".
TASS website was attacked. No such news of woman with placard. Just do a web search and pick one non US/EU/UK website that has this news. Just tried that with multiple search engines. This is manufactured news.

Why would TASS cover that news that is basically contrary to Putin's narrative?

Mort ji, my only point here is to be skeptical of news items that are not reported by all sides. In this case, as ks_sachin ji points out, why would TASS report something that works against Russia in Psy war terms? Maybe Marina O. Really exists and worked at Russia One. But did Marina O. actually appear in that video, what is the name of that admirable news reader who did not bat an eyelid as Marina O. Suddenly screamed behind her...unless the news reader and Marina O. both exist but were never in the same frame as that video claims. We can only think we know that any of this real, but we are reacting to 1000s of points of data with questionable and varying levels of truthiness.

Reuters is saying 3 million barrels not tonnes. Delivery is in May.
One tonne of crude oil is about 3.33 barrels. India uses about 4.5 million barrels of oil per day.

Fair enough. I think this one looks legit, but needs to be verified. Lots of Russia media and sources that don't tow the US/EU line are being shut down. RT Live was shut down by YouTube - Google just today, along with Oliver Stone's 2016 documentary "Ukraine on Fire". They are available on Rumble and recommend to download that app.

There is a total blackout of any Russian sources of news so claims of events happening in Russia, especially items that pretend Russian army is short of food and anti-putin sentiments are high to the exception of any other views or news. Seems Rather convenient for the guardians of freedom and democracy on this planet.

Good post SriKandan.
My general philosophy has become to look at all different data points and form that opinion - But then not discuss those opinions too widely. I find that most people believe what they want to believe and an objective discussion is generally not possible. Sad but that is the best way to avoid family conflict!!!
Interesting thing is that the trading company from which IOC bought oil is Vitol, a Dutch energy trading company. One of the largest companies in the world, who frequently trades with sanctioned countries like Iran; and they have paid fines numerous times. On one side Europeans are putting sanctions and on the other side its companies are making a killing trading Russian oil. Sanctions anyone

So if the Russians are fighting this information warfare are reporting that they are arresting people for holding placards that works against Putin's interest, why would TASS report it? Just makes no sense to me. Smells wrong.

From what I have heard there is some resistance to completely killing all Russian O/G supplies. The Germans in particular - However it is open source and could be a plant by the Russians to sow dissension in the western ranks. You never know in these days of information warfare. Or perhaps there are no sanctions and we are living in a matrix!!

As of now, you can buy all the Russian oil that you want. There is no sanction on Russia per se. The only problem is you can't use SWIFT messaging system for effecting payment. That said, the only hitch to using Russian oil is that most public sector refineries can't use the heavy Russian crude without blending with lighter crude. That limits the potential for import of Russian crude.

Since our independence, it is a fact that USSR/ Russia supported us more than the US and to an extent maintains a large proportion of our CURRENT weapons. you keep cheering for a Russian loss. This would cause a serious loss for India politically and economically. luckily for us , we are able to witness the spate of disinfo that can in the future in a moment turned on us [imagine all the indian business in the west having shit thrown on, or damaged].
Are you telling me that because Pakistan becomes part of Chinese Alliance where the chinese start placing missiles on our border, we should just roll over and say 'master'?
Would we not take the initiative and attack pakistan, what we consider part of our ethos. So far for a loss of < 1000 civilians the Russians have been slowly grinding down the Ukr cities. Your mental masters in the meantime would have blown up bridges, blown up the electricity grid, shock and awed cities, blown up wedding processions and then called them all "collateral damage". So shame on you sir.
To be fair, this guy "John" isn't the only one. Based on the tone of Indian reporting and the comments from regular Indian folks on YouTube and such, I get the impression that after 30+ years of Indian news media parroting the western media by default, most Indians have now been fully indoctrinated. The majority of our population subscribes to dangerous western propaganda that could lead us into WW3 or at the very least, be very bad for our interests. If you think Indians have only "drank the Kool-Aid" regarding Russia or Ukraine, you'd be mistaken. The western\globalist cabal's control of our news media means that they control the narrative across a wide range of issues.
India needs to figure out how to get our news media back, but without resorting to censorship and without relying on state-controlled media. This is an increasingly intolerable situation we find ourselves in.
Reuters is saying 3 million barrels not tonnes. Delivery is in May.
One tonne of crude oil is about 3.33 barrels. India uses about 4.5 million barrels of oil per day.
When Putin visited Delhi in Dec 21 there was no agreement on weapons but only supply of Coal, Gas, Crude. We also canceled the Mig 29 procurement. Looks like some of this has been gamed, us buying stuff from Russia allows frees up supply to the West and reduces prices for them. Ukraine seems to the Bakra, while for Britain and USA, NATO becomes relevant.

May be the GoI also knew what was about to happen.
These are the 28 agreements India, Russia signed at summit-level talks
An MoU between Joint Stock Company Rosgeologia (ROSGEO), a legal entity incorporated under the laws of the Russian Federation and Geological Survey of India (GSI), Ministry of Mines, Government of the Republic of India on cooperation in the field of geoscience. [It seeks cooperation in the field of earth sciences and geological study of subsoil, long-term cooperation in the area of geological onshore and offshore exploration works.
Protocol on introduction of amendments to the Merchant Shipping Agreement between the Government of the Republic of India and the Government of the Russian Federation. [It introduces an amendment leading to recognising the seafarer’s identity documents.
An agreement between the Government of the Republic of India and the Government of the Russian Federation on technology protection due to cooperation in the field of research and use of outer space for peaceful purposes and building and operation of launch vehicles and ground-based space infrastructure.
Protocol between Government of the Russian Federation and Government of the Republic of India on allotment of land plots for allocation of Consular offices of the Republic of India in the Russian Federation and terms of housing the Consulate General of the Republic of India in the city of Vladivostok.
A cooperation agreement between Reserve Bank of India and the Bank of Russia in the field of responding to cyber attacks
An MoU on cooperation between ICAI (The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India) and IPAR (The Institute of Professional Accountants of Russia). [It seeks to establish collaboration through joint research, quality support, capability and capacity building.]
An MoU for cooperation in the power sector between NTPC Ltd, Government of India Enterprise and Inter Rao-Export LLC, Russia. [It seeks to jointly provide services for capability-building exports in the power sector, outside their respective countries of origin]
]
Interesting as a CA, ICAI has a MOU with the Russian Accountants and RBI -Russian Central Bank having agreement- I am sure bypassing SWIFT mechanism must be there if required.
A statement of intent of collaboration between IOCL and SIBUR. [It seeks to consider the possibility to explore the feasibility of setting up a Dual Feed Cracker Unit along with downstream units at Paradip, Odisha.
A statement of intent of collaboration between IOCL and Gazpromneft for VGO Hydrocracking Technology, Catalytic Iso-dewaxing for lobs and catalyst regeneration for fixed bed catalyst.
An MoU between Rosneft and OVL-led Indian Consortium on Training Cooperation. [It seeks to provide education and training programs in the oil and gas sector.]
A crude oil supply agreement between Rosneft and Indian Oil Corp. Ltd. [It seeks to renew the previous contract between Rosneft and IOCL.
Probably answers how we plan to use heavy Russian Crude
At that both Indian and US media were speculating why Putin Travelled to Delhi and why a summit meeting, in hindsight lot of this makes sense
It seems that efforts are already underway to bypass Swift and the dollar sanctions.

HOW UKRAINE IS MANIPULATING THE WAR FOR A NATO INTERVENTION
On the 11/03/2022, A TU 141 over flew the whole length of Romania. With the Romanian Airforce sighting it for just 3 mins before it vanished from their screens. It then entered Croatian airspace was sighted by the Croatian Airforce for 5 mins. Before crashing in Zagreb.
now
Just three days after the event, a drone crashed in the Tărpiu village close to the Transylvanian city of Bistrița in Romania. Unlike the UAV that crashed in Croatia, this one carried no armament. It was identified as a Russian Orlan-10 reconnaisance drone.Like Croatia, Romania is a NATO member.
Britain bluntly warned Vladimir Putin on Monday that he would face “war with Nato” if even a “single toecap of a Russian soldier” stepped into the territory of the military alliance’s 30 members.
Fact The TU 141 Drone looks like a missile, and was operational with the Soviet military in the 70s and 80s. It has been decommissioned ages ago by everyone. For some reason, it was reintroduced with the Ukrainian military in 2014.
23. We have reiterated at the highest levels of our leadership to all parties concerned that there is no other choice but the path of diplomacy and dialogue. We have emphasized to all member States of the UN that the global order is anchored on international law, UN Charter and respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty of states.
24. The Ukraine conflict has major economic implications. Its impact on energy and commodity prices is already visible. The disruption of global supply chain is expected to be significant. India has substantial dealings with both Russia and Ukraine. An assessment in this regard by the Government is underway. However, the House will appreciate that there is all the more need for an Atmanirbhar Bharat.

Wish I knew russian. the translation sucks. This paper won a Nobel peace prize last year, so they are not pro-Russia given that the Nobel is political recognition by the noble white race, by their own admission and to further their own agenda. Easier to just ignore western news sources on this topic and look at actual events as and when they are confirmed. Western propaganda is useless for understanding anything we don't already know (about said sources), like if we started analyzing India today based on western news sources.

Here is the truly sinister part: Asha Rangappa's background.
Asha Rangappa is a former Special Agent of the FBI who worked in the New York Office and specialized in counterintelligence investigations. Her work involved monitoring foreign agents working on behalf of other countries and neutralizing their activities.
Clearly Tweets like this are meant to provoke responses from US-based Indians with a backbone and a sincere commitment to the truth. These poor souls will be added to a shortlist & marked for 'neutralization' as 'foreign agents'.
