Moscow: As Russia lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Moscow as “historic and game-changing,” the White House called on India to leverage its relationship with Russia to persuade President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine.
Russia’s Charge d’affaires Roman Babushkin on Wednesday called Modi’s two-day visit to Moscow and his summit talks with President Putin “historic and game-changing,” considering the turbulent geopolitical environment.
Modi’s visit to Moscow was watched by the whole world and it was evident how significant the trip was, Babushkin said, a day after Modi and Putin held summit talks.
The Russian diplomat said the focus of the talks between the two leaders was on expanding India-Russia trade and economic ties. Highlighting key outcomes of the summit talks, Babushkin said India and Russia decided to go ahead with a bilateral payment system using national currencies.
On India’s demand to Russia to ensure the return of Indians working in the Russian Army, he said, “We are on same page with India on this issue.”
