... return to peace. However, from a structural point of view, India does not have the heft to navigate the complex Eurasian security dynamics, which led to the conflict in Ukraine in the first place. Therefore, if to look beyond the push for peace, growing Western pressure on India for Modi’s controversial visit to Russia, a country that is openly at odds with the Western world, tacitly implied India’s support to Moscow’s geopolitical ambitions (for the West).

... skyrocketed in 2022 and reached an unprecedented $35 billion. However, this spectacular (2.5 times!) growth became possible almost exclusively due to an explosive increase of Russia’s deliveries of crude oil, as well as of coal and fertilisers to India. In view of the massive Westen economic sanctions and the rapid demise of the Russia-EU strategic energy partnership, Moscow had to sell a lot of its oil to India at heavily discounted prices.

... the West will fight for the narratives to influence the minds and hearts of the rest of the world. But we must recognize the deep skepticism, with which the rest of the World receives the constructed and often obviously hypocritical narratives of the West. As noted earlier, Russia has very good and warm relations with both China and India—together nearly 3 billion people. We also must look at China’s enormous goodwill in Africa and trade relations with South America.
