New delhi date. Thursday, February 11, 2021

The Russian news agency made a major revelation just as Defense Minister Rajnath Singh announced an agreement on the withdrawal of the two countries' armies at the LAC. A bloody clash took place on June 15 last year in the Galwan valley of eastern Ladakh in which 20 Indian soldiers were martyred. At that time, 45 Chinese soldiers were killed in the Galvan Valley violence, according to a claim made by the Russian news agency TASS. However, China has not yet officially acknowledged that its troops have been killed.

The claim was made by the Russian news agency Tass at a time when both India and China are preparing to withdraw their troops from the Pangong Lake area.

Tensions are running high in eastern Ladakh following the violence in the Galwan Valley. In view of this tension, the two countries have deployed about 50-50 thousand troops. Earlier, in a meeting with India, China said five of its soldiers, including a commanding officer of the Chinese military, had been killed in the Galvan Valley conflict. China claims that only 5 soldiers were killed, but US and Indian intelligence agencies estimate that at least 40 Chinese soldiers were killed in the violence.

The two armies face off in Rejang La, Rechin La

The Russian news agency's revelation confirms that the two armies are currently facing each other at Depsang in eastern Ladakh, the north and south shores of Pangong Lake, Patrol Point 17A, Rejang La and Rechin Lama. After learning from the Galvan violence, India has made it clear to China that our troops can go to any lengths to protect themselves and our border in eastern Ladakh. India had told China in very clear terms that if the situation in the region got out of control, our troops would not hesitate to fire.

Know the retreat of the army

The Russian news agency TASS was the first to talk about the withdrawal of Indian and Chinese troops from the Pangong Lake area. Troops are slowly retreating, according to an agreement reached between the two countries. The Chinese Defense Ministry later confirmed the withdrawal. The Chinese Defense Ministry said during the 9th round of commander-level talks that an agreement had been reached between the two countries on the withdrawal of troops.
