A bizarre claim about a possible U.S.-Russia land-for-peace deal is stirring debate in diplomatic circles.
India and Russia continue to be close and time-tested partners, collaborating on a range of key defense and strategic initiatives. These include the supply of S-400 air defense systems, MiG-29 fighter jets, and joint production of AK-203 rifles and BrahMos missiles in India—projects that underline the depth of bilateral defense cooperation.
ANI reported, citing sources, that reports circulating in some sections of the media claiming that Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit India at the end of August are false.
With a ceasefire window approaching, secret diplomacy involving Trump, Putin and Zelensky is reportedly underway. Behind closed doors, backchannel talks are intensifying to end the Ukraine war, with global stakes hanging in the balance.
Russia and India are time-tested partners and have been involved in several bilateral projects, including the supply of S-400 and MiG-29.
The Russian Defense Ministry said its forces had launched a massive strike overnight in retaliation for "the terrorist acts of the Kiev regime," adding that it involved long-range precision weapons, Kinzhal air-based hypersonic missiles and drones.
Trump's call with Putin on Thursday morning was their first conversation since the Defense Department (DOD) paused the delivery of some air defense missiles and munitions to Ukraine after concerns that military stockpiles are running low.
Zelensky has repeatedly called for a meeting with Putin, stating that he alone can resolve pressing bilateral issues, including disputes over territory.
Experts say he is boxed in. The bigger response means admitting the strike hurt. That Ukraine outmaneuvered him.
Zelenskyy’s comments come as Trump on Tuesday warned his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, that he was "playing with fire" for stalling efforts to finalise a peace agreement with Ukraine.
Putin emphasized that BRICS is not an anti-Western organization but rather a non-Western one, reiterating Prime Minister Modi's earlier statement.
In reflection of its strong friendship with Russia, India has not yet condemned Moscow's invasion of Ukraine and it has been maintaining that the crisis must be resolved through diplomacy and dialogue.
India participated in the Swiss summit on peace in Ukraine, expressing its global concern and commitment to facilitating a peaceful resolution.
Wishes are pouring in from across the globe after Prime Minister Narendra Modi secured a third consecutive win in the Lok Sabha polls.
