State visits|India has not publicly condemned Russia’s war of aggression. The country’s foreign policy includes cooperation with everyone.
of India prime minister Narendra Modi will visit Ukraine on Friday. During his historic trip to Kiev, Modi will meet the President of Ukraine to Volodymyr Zelensky. This is Modi’s first visit to Ukraine.
Modi is going to Ukraine from Poland, where he arrived on a visit on Wednesday. The Ukrainian administration has announced that various agreements between the countries will be signed during the visit.
Modi’s trip to Ukraine has received a lot of attention in advance, as India is one of the major powers that has remained officially neutral in relation to Russia’s war of aggression. India has close relations with Russia and has not publicly condemned the Russian attack. India has announced its efforts to promote peace and diplomacy.
In July, Modi visited Russia and drew criticism from the West and Ukraine after hugging the Russian president Vladimir Putin.
The experts visits to both Russia and Ukraine in a short period of time fit well with India’s foreign policy line. The country has traditionally tried to stay out of alliances and cooperate with all countries.
– They can feel that they have now irritated the Western countries but have shown Putin that we are on your side. Now they are turning it around and demonstrating to Putin that we are not completely under the influence of Russia, we can also make independent decisions, so we are going to Ukraine, noted the researcher of international politics at the London School of Economics and Political Science Kira Huju for STT this week.
India’s close relationship with Russia dates back to the Cold War. India especially buys weapons and oil from Russia, but that does not mean that the world’s most populous country is completely in the Kremlin’s camp. India’s dependence on Russia is decreasing, and India has diversified its arms purchases by increasing its cooperation with European countries.
Otherwise, India’s defense cooperation with the West has intensified, as it is in the interests of both to stem China’s growing influence in Asia.
