flag Putin lauds Modi’s leadership, reaffirms India-Russia ties amid U.S. pressure over oil trade.

flag Russian President Vladimir Putin praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a "wise leader" who prioritizes India’s national interests, reaffirming the "privileged strategic partnership" between India and Russia. flag He emphasized India’s continued purchase of Russian oil as an economic decision, warning that halting the trade could cost India $9 to $10 billion. flag Putin expressed confidence that Modi would maintain strategic autonomy amid external pressure, particularly from the U.S., following Trump’s claim that India and China are funding the Ukraine war through Russian oil purchases—a charge Putin dismissed as economically driven. flag Diplomatic preparations are underway for a planned December visit by Putin to India, with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov expected to visit ahead of the summit.
