Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit India later this year, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval confirmed during talks with Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu in Moscow. Doval said India is “excited and delighted” about the visit, calling past India-Russia summits “watershed moments.” This will be Putin’s first visit to India since the Russia-Ukraine war began in 2022. The visit comes amid US-India trade tensions over New Delhi’s continued Russian oil imports. Last year, PM Modi met Putin twice—once in Moscow and again at the BRICS Summit in Kazan. The Kremlin also confirmed Putin may soon meet Donald Trump. (PC: India Today)
