Event Summary

Russian President Vladimir Putin is scheduled to pay an official visit to India in December, marking his first trip to the country since the 2022 Russia-Ukraine war. This visit comes amidst heightened tensions between India and the United States, as US President Donald Trump has imposed tariffs on Indian goods due to New Delhi's significant purchases of Russian oil. The United States aims to pressure Russia by cutting its export earnings, a key source of revenue for Moscow's state budget. India has rejected the tariffs as 'unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable,' emphasizing its oil procurement decisions are guided by market dynamics and national interest. Russia has redirected energy sales from Europe to countries like India and China, ensuring continued financial flows. Vladimir Putin will also meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in China to discuss preparations for the December visit. India is not a party to the International — International Criminal Court, which has issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin, and is therefore not obligated to detain him.
