🇷🇺💬Russian Ambassador to India Denis Alipov's interview with NDTV TV channel(April 22, 2026) Key theses: #RussiaIndia#DruzhbaDosti The contacts between the leaders of our countries are regular and intensive. The coordination of our approaches to many topical issues of international politics has been very close. I am very optimistic about the future and the ongoing projects in our bilateral relations. #MiddleEast The implications of the conflict have been severe for the entire world. Russia has condemned the US and Israeli actions against Iran. I guess the Gulf countries have become disillusioned with the US and the security guarantees that were promised to them. The energy and fertilizer markets have been jeopardized. #Oil Our oil supplies to India have substantially increased. The anti-Russia sanctions imposed by the US and the European Union are illegal in nature; India does not recognize them. We have always stated that we are prepared to supply as much oil as India is prepared to absorb. #Defence Russia offers extensive transfer of technology and very favorable conditions. It is not only sales; it is a long-term technological partnership. We have a comprehensive program of defence cooperation. #Tourism Russia is an attractive destination to visit, and last year, in 2025, we saw the largest number of Indian tourists on our Arctic coast. There has been a consistent increase in both Indian tourists to Russia and Russian tourists to India. We have proposed a visa-free agreement between the two countries for groups of tourists. 👉🏻Watch in full 🔸@RusEmbIndia
