Russian President Vladimir Putin is likely to visit India soon as part of the plan made by the two countries for reciprocal annual visits by their leaders
Though the two sides are looking at the possibility of the visit nothing has been confirmed yet, diplomatic sources said.
During Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Moscow, he had invited President Vladimir Putin to visit India.
He also visited Kazan in Russia last month to attend the BRICS summit.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov in a video interaction with senior journalists in Delhi referred to the strong bilateral relationship between India and Russia. Peskov added that Putin will soon visit India but did not give any specific timeline.
“We are looking forward to the visit. The dates will be mutually worked out soon,” Peskov said.
On being asked about US President Joe Biden’s decision to let Ukraine strike targets inside Russia with US’s long-range missiles, Peskov said Russia’s military capabilities are incomparable to those of Ukraine. It is unlikely that any missile will help Ukraine.
“Biden administration stands for war, not for peace.”
“The authority in the White House takes a decision to use their weapons against the Russian Federation, and this is a striking example of the new environment surrounding our country,” Peskov said.
Putin had signed a revised nuclear doctrine declaring that a conventional attack on Russia by any nation that is supported by nuclear power would be considered a joint attack on his country.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova mocked the ATACMS, calling it incapable of stopping Russia from attaining its goals. However, no matter how much Zelenskyy and his henchmen hope and pray for it, there is no ‘wonder-weapon’ capable of affecting the course of the special military operation,” Zakharova said.
