Amid growing trade tensions with the United States, Russian President Vladimir Putin has taken a decisive step to strengthen relations with India. Addressing the Valdai Forum, he announced plans to boost Russian crude oil supplies to India and expand purchases of Indian products such as medicines and farm goods to help counter the impact of U.S. tariffs.Putin’s remarks come as Washington escalates economic measures against New Delhi, targeting exports, restricting H1B visas, and pressing India to reduce Russian oil imports. He dismissed these actions as an attempt to undermine India’s sovereignty, commending Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership and firm decision-making. This initiative highlights Moscow’s determination to expand strategic cooperation with India, using energy trade as both an economic advantage and a tool for diplomacy. With a high-profile visit to India scheduled for December, Putin is positioning Russia and India as closer partners in a shifting global order.
