RUSSIA / FSU POLITICS - In Brief 09 Jul 2024 by Alex Teddy
On July 8 Narendra Modi met Putin. This is Modi's first visit to Russia since the Ukraine War began. He said he is there to discuss building peace in Russia's region.

India has had a good relationship with Moscow since the early days of the Cold War. India was a major customer for Russian weapons.
