His visit is taking place at a time when Russia's war with Ukraine is going on for the second month. Meanwhile, many rounds of talks between the two countries have been held at different levels at different places, but to no avail. However, after the talks held in Turkey in the past, some positive things have come to the fore, after which the solution is expected to come out soon.

 

Sergei's visit is very special

 

The visit of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is also very special because there is constant US pressure on India regarding the war between Russia and Ukraine. Let us tell you that India has raised this issue every time in various forums, whether it is a vote against Russia in the UN Security Council or a resolution against it, or a resolution brought against Russia in the General Assembly of the United Nations, Staying away from everyone has given a clear indication of staying neutral.

 

The way out of talks between India and Russia

 

Last week, US President Joe Biden even said about India that all America's allies are with him on this issue, but India's attitude has been equivocal on the issue. It will also be necessary to tell you here that when this war started, only one thing was told to Russia from India's side India is concerned about the safety of its citizens present in Ukraine. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also spoke directly to Russian President Vladimir Putin in this regard, after which Russia not only gave India time to evacuate its citizens but also provided a safe corridor. After this cooperation with Russia, India's rescue operation also accelerated significantly.

 

Russia can thank India's attitude

 

Let us tell you that the relations between India and Russia have been very old and strong. It is believed that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov can thank India for its neutral attitude during this visit. Apart from this, talks can also be held on cooperation between India and Russia in the future. Let us tell you that Russia had welcomed and thanked India for not participating in India's voting on the proposal brought against Russia in UNSC and UNGA. India has maintained its clear position in this regard. India says that it wants a solution to this issue keeping in mind the interests of both sides.

 

Both countries are old and trusted partners

 

It is also very important to know here that India is not only a strategic ally of Russia but also a very important partner from a commercial point of view. India buys a large part of its oil needs from Russia. Although it has decreased due to US sanctions in the past, even after this, India has never completely abandoned Russia. This has always been a matter of concern for America. Recently, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan had also mentioned this in one of his rallies. Imran Khan said that India is buying oil from Russia at subsidized rates even after sanctions. This is the result of a better foreign policy in India.

 

Impact of Russia and Ukraine attack

 

After Russia invaded Ukraine, the number of refugees in neighboring countries has crossed 3.5 million. There is also a shortage of food and drink after Russia attacks Ukraine. At the same time, such a shortage is being seen in neighboring countries as well. The Director-General of the United Nations has consistently expressed his concern about this.
