PM Modi to Visit Russia Next Month Amid Ukraine War & Growing Chinese Threat | Vantage on Firstpost

The Kremlin says the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Russia next month. This will be PM Modi’s first visit to Russia in nearly five years and also the first one since the invasion of Ukraine. During the bilateral visit, PM Modi is expected to reaffirm his commitment to the India-Russia relationship. Both countries could also sign a defence logistics pact to facilitate deeper military engagement. Since the beginning of the Ukraine war, the West has imposed hefty sanctions on Russia, which has driven Moscow to deepen its ties with China. Earlier this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping reaffirmed their “no limits partnership” – a worrisome situation for New Delhi. How will PM Modi’s visit to Russia help provide a counterbalance to the Chinese? Watch this report to know more.

  1. Putin had visited 3 Asian countries after the Russian election. Like other influential world leaders, he didn’t stop by to say “Hi” to Modi even though India is just next door of Asian countries he visited. Now Modi had to go to Russia to meet Putin after the Indian election. Modi must did something very bad to ask forgiveness.

  3. Time for modi has come like general musharaf. To choose which side he is. Russia called him to tell. Either you with us or against us. Bad time for modi. Lol 😂😂😂😂

  7. China is no 'threat' to anything or to anyone! China is a great friend to all of us who love good quality products at great prices! So, no to hostilities towards China, and no to tariffs on Chinese products! This will benefit all of humankind, and nature!

  8. PM Modi is an intelligent man. One of the reason he visited Russia is buy weapons that are near expiry date. It is definitely cheaper. Smart man indeed.

  13. The Prime Minister of India's strategic approach to prioritizing his nation's well-being aligns with the fundamental duties of a leader, a quality lacking in our current U.S. President, india, is receiving discounted oil and gas, just imagine if India would've treat putin differently, India would've have to deal with two big countries, therefore as an American I respect modi actions, because he is putting his country first. I hope don't listen to Nato, because Nato won't provide either gas or oil or grain or share military tegnologies.

  15. If America could support Pakistan and khalistan then India could support Russia 200% however ultimately India will remain as a NEUTRAL nation. no nation is enemy nor any have special preferences over another in front of India. unlike america India fight any terrorism and should not distinguish 9/11 as separatist movement and khalistan as terror. canada interfered in farmers protest in India however India did not respond in same manner when truckers protest happen in canada and that's the difference. canada honored a terrorist however India did not honor osma bin laden in same manner and that's the difference between canada and India.🙏🏻

  16. Palki, back from her days in WION, is very inconsistent. I don't know if she is ill, if that's the case, I wish her a speedy recovery🙏

  20. Where did Parki go? This woman is far less interesting than Parki. The comment section hasn't heard laughter in a long time.
