Today is the second day of Putin's visit to India. Today is going to be a very important day in terms of relations between the two countries. Important agreements can be signed in the field of defence to nuclear energy. India-Russia relations are extremely strategic and can withstand any external pressure. He said this partnership shows that neither India nor Russia is going to bow down to any Western pressure. According to Lee, this cooperation shows the world that Russia is still a dominant power and Western sanctions have not weakened it. At the same time, India is not going to come under pressure to buy US oil and decides its foreign policy on the basis of national interests.
Sudheendra Kulkarni, a former adviser to the Indian prime minister, was quoted by the Global Times as saying that the visit reflects the depth and strength of India-Russia relations. The New York Times noted that these are challenging times for India as the US is pressuring India to stop importing Russian oil and is also warning of sanctions.
