| Summary/Abstract |
India and Russia’s relations have generally been friendly. This relationship has developed to the level of a privileged strategic partnership since the beginning of the twenty-first centur y. From the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Indian government has consistently supported Putin. India wants to maintain a positive relationship with Russia because it needs Moscow’s support in resolving territorial conflicts with its neighbors, especially China, and fulfilling its defence needs. But all this does not mean India will maintain its support for Russia no matter what it does.
