He met with Russian President Vladimir Putin for the annual India-Russia summit. Yesterday, PM Modi received a warm welcome in Moscow. President Putin hosted dinner for the Indian Prime Minister at his estate outside Moscow and the two leaders also engaged in a free-wheeling discussion. They discussed a wide range of issues, including the war in Ukraine, defence, trade, and energy. The summit is being seen as a success for India, with PM Modi being conferred Russia’s highest civilian honor, the Order of Saint Andrew the Apostle. This honour puts India’s relationship with Russia on the same footing as China. Prime Minister Modi also called for an end to the war in Ukraine, urging Putin to explore diplomatic options. The West has been closely monitoring PM Modi’s Russia visit. The United States expressed concern about India’s relationship with Russia, while Ukrainian President Zelensky called Putin a “criminal“ and said Modi’s visit undermined peace efforts.

He also defended India’s oil purchases from Russia, stating they helped stabilise the global market. This highlights India’s attempt to balance its ties with Russia and the West.
