Causes global threats: Putin's ally reviews attitude towards Russia - Reuters

Journalists write that India holds a stringent position on Moscow and started a full -scale war in Ukraine on February 24. However, New Delhi has interest. India formulates its position against the war in Ukraine more strictly to resist criticism for its softness in relation to Russia. However, it still does not place responsibility for the invasion of Moscow. About it reports Reuters. It is assumed that the country will not change its policy on import of cheap Russian goods, especially gas and oil.

The newspaper writes that at the first personal meeting of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, after February 24, the latter clearly made it clear that he condemns the war in Ukraine. It is also reported that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of India was stated last week at the UN Security Council. He described the trajectory of war in Ukraine as "very disturbing", and the risk of nuclear escalation as "causing special anxiety".

Analysts say that the shift in New Delhi, albeit with the nuances, reflects concern about the increase in economic costs of conflict and how it affects India. The first mobilization of the Russian troops since the Second World War marks a serious escalation of the conflict, which has led to shocks in the markets and threatens a global recession. Journalists write that India is concerned that the war pushes Russia to rapprochement with China, who has a strained relationship with New Delhi.

India also hopes that her decisive approach will help her resist criticism by the event that she is too close to Moscow. PS Raghavan, Chairman of the Indian National Security Advisory Council and former Ambassador to Russia, explicitly said that India has always sought to cease hostilities in Ukraine, but now holds a stringent position.

"This is contrary to the claim that India and China do the same thing - that China supports Russia, and India, while sitting aside, also supports Russia," Raghavan said. The publication notes that India and Russia have a close relationship for decades: Russia has fallen 5. 51 from $ 12. 4 billion, which India spent from 2018 to 2021 on weapons import. In addition, the Russian Federation is one of the largest oil suppliers to India.

The material states that analysts believe that a sharper position of India will not hurt connections with Russia. "India does not intend to fully break relations with Russia," said Nandan Unicishrishnan, an employee of the analytical center Observer Research Foundation in New Della.

Following the meeting of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of India, Subramanama Jaishankar and his Russian colleague, Sergei Lavrov, on Saturday in New York, Russia said that the ministers emphasized "a firm intention to strengthen bilateral interaction with the full range of issues of mutual interest. " Earlier, Focus reported that Putin loses so much support for the Allies. Journalists say that India and China are gradually moving to more decisive rhetoric on condemning the war in Ukraine.

However, Moscow still has allies who want to resist the West. We will also remind that the President of Kazakhstan called the situation in Russia hopeless. Kasim-Zomart Tokaev promised the Russians running to Kazakhstan to ensure safety. They will be assisted, but they will not receive any preferences. It was also reported that the Kremlin is in no hurry to the annexation of the regions of Ukraine and the closure of the borders through the aggression of the Russians.
