India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi is heading to Russia for his first visit since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Modi’s trip will include a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he last met in Russia in 2019. India is a major buyer of Russian arms – and has also become a key buyer of Russian oil following Western sanctions placed on Moscow over its actions in Ukraine.
While Modi has not condemned Russia, he is under pressure to secure the release of Indians allegedly misled into fighting for Moscow in Ukraine. Reportedly lured with the promise of lucrative jobs and education but ending up on the frontlines.
