Russia-India: The history of friendship between India and Russia is very old. The two friends are traditionally friends. Even before Mikhail Gorbachev and then after Boris Yeltsin, Vladimir Putin for the last nearly two decades is witness to the fact that India and Russia have traditionally been partners in happiness and sorrow. When the war started with Ukraine, the whole world put pressure on India to make a statement against Russia, but India gave first importance to its friendship and did not bow down to the pressure. Although India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi definitely told Putin that war is not appropriate. America put full pressure on India, but India stood true to Russia’s test.

Recently, Chinese President Xi Jinping had visited Russia. Even after this, it was said that under the influence of China, Russia should not go against India. But friendship with India was always given due importance from Russia also.
