Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit India in December amid rising U.S. pressure. As Trump doubles tariffs on Indian goods over Russian oil imports, New Delhi has defended its energy security, strengthening ties with Moscow despite Western criticism and sanctions threats.

Both Russia and Ukraine are connecting several of their first-person view (FPV) drones to their commanders via fiber optic cables rather than using radio waves around the battlefield.

India has steadfastly refused to bow down to Western demand and has continued its time-tested bilateral ties with Russia, expertly navigating the tight geopolitical rope of diplomacy in a multipolar world.

"At the Novo-Ogaryovo residence of the President of Russia near Moscow, Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister @narendramodi, who is on a two-day official visit to Russia, hold an informal meeting," Russian Foreign Ministry said on X.

Soon after the terrorist attack, Russian security forces launched a widespread manhunt for the perpetrators who had managed to escape. Four terrorists were captured alive by Russian forces while trying to flee towards the Ukrainian border.

Reuters has reported that at least 130 people have been killed and over 100 injured after five armed men fired on the crowd, in one of the worst attacks on Russia in years.

According to preliminary data as of 6 pm (Moscow time) on Sunday, the voter turnout in the presidential elections, which for the first time took place over three days from March 15-17, stood at 74.22%. Voter turnout for the elections held in 2018 was 67.54 per cent.

Jaishankar is on a five-day Russia visit from December 25 to 29 as a part of the ongoing high-level exchanges between the two sides.

An #AtmanirbharBharat will deepen ties with Russia in a multipolar world," Jaishankar posted on X.
