"Record rates" to what we used to buy from India, which is almost nothing. EU oil imports from India increased from 111k barrels a day to 236k barrels a day, while we used to import something like 4.5 million barrels of oil per day straight from Russia.
But writing "EU now imports 3% of the oil it used to from Russia through India" would hardly be news worth writing about.
You're comparing crude oil to refined products.
