Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit India on December 5-6 for a high-profile summit with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, marking his first trip since the start of the Ukraine war. The visit comes amid rising tensions with the United States over India’s continued purchase of Russian oil, which led Washington to impose 25% tariffs on certain Indian goods. The summit is expected to focus on energy cooperation, defence deals, joint technology initiatives, and deepening the India-Russia strategic partnership. Experts say the visit highlights India’s balancing act between Moscow and Washington while asserting its strategic autonomy.
