India continues to maintain its long-standing partnership with Russia despite sustained diplomatic pressure from Western nations. The bilateral relationship remains anchored in decades of defense cooperation, growing energy trade, and New Delhi’s foreign policy of strategic autonomy. While India has steadily diversified its arms procurement and deepened security ties with Western partners, it continues to depend heavily on Russian military supplies and discounted crude oil. Additionally, Indian policymakers view continued engagement with Moscow as a necessary measure to prevent Russia from forming an exclusive strategic alignment with China.
- Historical defense ties remain central, with a substantial portion of the Indian military’s hardware and legacy systems originating from Russia.
- Economic cooperation expanded significantly after 2022, as India increased its purchases of discounted Russian crude oil to meet domestic energy requirements.
- India adheres to a policy of strategic autonomy, opting out of Western sanctions while balancing relationships with both Moscow and Western capitals.
- Maintaining strong ties with Russia allows New Delhi to retain influence and mitigate the risk of an unchecked alliance between Moscow and Beijing.
- Western nations continue to strengthen economic and security partnerships with India, viewing the country as an indispensable counterweight to China in the Indo-Pacific.

The West sent in Dipke and CJP in to destroy India
It doesn't require a 10-minute analysis video to explain why India won't break up with Russia. The US is untrustworthy. That's it.
Russia is not friend of India but it's brother…!!
We indians love russia ..so buzz off with your propaganda .
And one more thing.
We will keep modi ji till 2039 first of all and then we ll bring yogi ji to power .
Stop us with all your caste politics you are doing in india
Bring it on baby
We did not break ties with USA and UK after their Invasion of Iraq so why would we break ties with Russia after the invasion of Ukraine.
What a weird video. Skips 1971, skips US's arming of Pakistan. Also, Soviet magazines talking about their very real space achievements is considered propaganda and one relationship that has stood firm throughout the years, throughout geopolitical turmoil is characterized as marriage of convenience. What 😂
Jai bharat jai రష్యా jai israel
Lol, anyone trusting americans and going all in with them is going to suffer. You are already crying, the BRICS summit hasn't even started yet.
Because the US never broke up the tie with Pakistan . Even the Osama bin Laden was caught up in Pakistan.
I'm a student
And few days ago my teacher teach us what happened in 1971
We Indians TRUST Russia with eyes close but American Leadership can't be trusted who align themselves with a TERRORIST nation like Pakistan…
We don't need "petrol pump"
Russia invade ukrain ??
What about usa?? Venezuela 🤫🤫🤫
American policy is totally failed
India♥️russia 🔥🔥
Pls make a video on USA relation with Pakistan, where bin laden has found.
This is what bs reporting looks like. Completely skipped the 1971 topic .
We need more travel and work exchange with Bharat. More tourism to Bharat, less to Turkey.
Greetings from Russia.
India is not just buying Russian oil for herself but also for Europe and other Asian and African countries.
India is giving lifesaving energy supply to the grass where the two elephants are fighting.
And the world is aware of how dangerous the US can be to democracies.
russia is india's forever friend
The US sent it's 7th fleet to Bay of Bengal in 1971 in support of Pakistan threatening India.
And Russia sent it's navy to support India.
Israel aided India on various occasions including during the Kargil war with Pakistan.
Indians never forget these factors.
Russell Vipers 🐍 are more trustable that the west. No other like Russin friendship ❤
It’s a sin to destroy Indo-Rus relationship
Hey, White journalist of Bloomberg. More than 10 mins of video and you’re still struggling to understand why India doesn’t break with Russia. I’m not surprised it comes across as a profound puzzle to you.
You could have answered your question in one sentence: India doesn’t break with Russia because the Soviet Union/ Russia is the ONLY reason Europe and the US have failed to Balkanize India. The US and its puppets would have killed India long, long ago but for the Soviet veto.
Here’s a video you should try next: Why does the UK not break with the US? I won’t hold my breath.
Western propaganda started 🤡🤡
WEST WONT DARE TALK ABOUT 1971 WAR, WHERE Y'ALL (UK, USA) TEAMED UP WITH PAKISTAN TO ATTACK INDIA.. RUSSIA WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO STOOD WITH INDIA
China buys Russian oil
Turkiye buys Russian oil
Europe buys Russian gas
But all not of any worth mentioning
American purchase of Uranium from Russia is also conveniently forgotten .
Only Indian purchase of energy from Russia is paining West?
Report this video for misleading information
Western propaganda start now 😂
please make a video on why US wont break up with pakistan or why US continues to fund terrorism against India
We have seen real nature of the then America and European nations in 1971, their dual nature should be dealt diplomatically keeping iron clad friendship with Russia ❤
West needs to be destroyed, Dharma must prevail in the world
