Putin praise for Modi could be bad news, not for the West, but for hawkish China

Firstpost  

While Russia and India have been what is called ‘traditional friends’, diplomatically speaking Russia has always seen India as a balancing force to counteract the US as well as China New Delhi: Russia and India have always been all-weather friends, through thick and through thin, in war and in peace. But, timing counts While Russia and India have been what is called ‘traditional friends’, diplomatically speaking Russia has always seen India as a balancing force to counteract the US as well as China. The Ukraine war has exposed the weaknesses of the Russian side quite wide open and Russia’s depleted military and economic status is what China might eye to exploit to make gains into the Russian far east, including the strategic port of Vladivostok. While Russia was always close to India, its inching further close to PM Modi projects India’s power posited against Xi’s absolute power based on visions of unchecked aggrandisement, territorial as well as otherwise.
