India
VS
Russia
India and Russia are two major nations that have maintained a long-standing relationship, which both sides describe as a "strategic partnership." India is a large South Asian democracy with a growing economy, while Russia is a vast Eurasian country with significant geopolitical influence.
Their ties are rooted in shared historical connections, including linguistic and cultural affinities, and they have cooperated on various international issues.
The two countries have conflicting interests in the context of the Ukraine war.
India has maintained a neutral stance, refraining from condemning Russia's actions, while engaging with both Russia and Western nations.
This neutrality contrasts with Russia's position as a direct participant in the conflict, and India's calls for a peaceful resolution, as expressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, reflect a desire to balance its relationships with Russia and the West.
Economically, India and Russia are working to expand bilateral trade from $68 billion to $100 billion by the end of this decade, with connectivity initiatives underway.
While the United States is now more important to India than Russia, India still relies on Russia for security and other national interests, making the relationship complex and multifaceted.
