Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Moscow next week for the first time since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, highlighting the strengthening relationship between the two nations. The visit, set for July 8 and 9, comes at the invitation of Russian President Vladimir Putin, with discussions expected to cover contemporary regional and global issues of mutual interest.
India's reliance on Russian military equipment remains significant, particularly given ongoing tensions at its border with China. Additionally, India has increased its purchases of discounted Russian crude oil, providing crucial financial support to Russia amidst Western isolation.
