Putin's just six-hour trip to India spilled oil into the stomachs of China and the United States

New Delhi, Dt
Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to India, despite the crisis in Corona and Ukraine, has spilled over into China and the United States. Putin's trip will be only six hours long due to domestic issues, but the trip has raised concerns in China and the United States. Experts consider Putin's visit to be "very important" amid India's deteriorating relations with China and improved relations with the United States.
According to experts in the field of strategy in India, Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to India may be only six hours, but it is of great strategic importance. What is special is that President Putin and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will talk for a while alone. The gap between Russia and India has widened in recent years, especially during the Sino-Indian border dispute. Relations between the two countries are not as energetic as before.
At the time of the China border dispute, India needed Russia's cooperation, but Russia remained silent. In the meantime, India has come very close to the US. The United States has openly sided with India on controversial issues such as the abolition of Article 70 from Jammu and Kashmir and terrorism. The US made India a member of an organization like Quad to counter the Chinese type. The US considers India as its close friend to the world. The friendship between Russia and China is also of concern to India.
On the other hand, despite strong US pressure, India has given a clear signal that it will not accept any interference in its strategic affairs by insisting on buying S-400 missile system from Russia. Russia did not expect India to remain steadfast in its stance despite US opposition to the deal and its threat to impose sanctions. The move made Russia realize that India would not change its principled foreign policy.
President Putin's decision to visit India amid growing cases of the Koro epidemic in Russia and the seriousness of the Ukraine crisis also indicates that Russia's old friendship with India will continue to be relevant. The visit refutes reports that the traditional India-Russia relationship has soured. With Putin backtracking on a planned visit in December 2012, Lavrov's first visit to Pakistan as foreign minister, Russia's support to China in the international arena, India's growing friendship with the United States, and the establishment of a quad were also rumored to be deteriorating India-Russia relations.
Russian President Putin's visit will further deepen bilateral ties between India and Russia. India's military ties with Russia in particular have been strong from the beginning. India has bought ઉપકરણ 20 billion worth of military equipment from Russia since 191. In addition, during Putin's visit, a deal is likely to be struck between Modi and Putin to buy the S-400 Super Advanced Missile Defense System. If the deal goes through, India will have a lead against China and Pakistan.
