Basically, after the war in Ukraine, the Western world, including the United States, imposed severe economic sanctions on Russia. However, ignoring these sanctions, India is continuing its trade relations with Russia. Buying oil at a discount. Putin is in an advantageous position.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba is going to visit India next week. This will be the first visit by a top official from Kiev to India since the start of the Russian offensive in Ukraine.

Earlier, after winning the election, the Russian president warned the West about the third world war.
