"Putin arrived in New Delhi on Thursday evening to a warm airport reception from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who embraced the Russian leader in a rare gesture that underscored their personal rapport."
Russian President Vladimir Putin began a state visit to India amid tensions over New Delhi's purchases of discounted Russian crude. Putin questioned Washington's criticism by noting that the United States continues to buy Russian nuclear fuel for its own power plants and argued that India should have the same right. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi provided a warm reception, embracing Putin on the tarmac and hosting a private dinner, and described the India–Russia relationship as time-tested and beneficial. The visit occurred as the United States imposed punitive tariffs on Indian goods over the oil purchases, and the reception signaled continued bilateral engagement despite Western pressure over Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
