India's economy benefits from Russia: What's in it for Moscow? | DW News

During his talks in Moscow, Modi says he told Vladimir Putin that peace was of "utmost importance." But again, he stopped short of condemning the war in Ukraine. He said that India's economy had benefited from its strategic partnership with Russia. India has stepped up imports of Russian oil, despite criticism from Western countries that have put sanctions on Moscow.

We are not ungrateful people. Israel & Russia supported us when no one did (the most difficult times after our independence). That's why Indians have a soft corner for Russia and Israel. 🇮🇳 ❤🇮🇱 🇷🇺
