Russian President Vladimir Putin pledged to supply India with oil, weapons and nuclear power reactors, buttressing a long-time friendship with Asia’s third-biggest economy as ties deteriorate with the West over Ukraine.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi reassured Putin, who is on a visit to Delhi, that India opposes sanctions against Russia. He also said Russia remains India’s most important defense partner and welcomed Putin’s offer to make one of its most advanced helicopters in the country.
