For the First Time Since Russia-Ukraine War, Indian Prime Minister Modi Visits Russia

Reported about 1 year ago

On July 8th to 9th, Indian Prime Minister Modi will visit Russia, marking his first visit to Russian soil since Russia's military actions against Ukraine in February 2022. Despite Western sanctions against Russia, India has chosen a different stance, increasing oil purchases from Russia during the conflict. The ongoing conflict undoubtedly presents new challenges for Indo-Russian relations. Modi is expected to meet with Russian President Putin to discuss deepening bilateral relations and exchange views on international and regional issues, as Putin seemingly views Modi as a potential important diplomatic and economic partner amidst intensifying tensions between Western countries and Russia. Modi's visit is closely watched amid India's attempts to maintain neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine conflict while facing pressure from Western allies on its relationship with Russia.
