The meeting, led by Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov and Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singhe, included discussion about India purchasing other critical military equipment from Russia.
Stronger together: Cooperation between India and Russia is growing.
- India is purchasing a record volume of Russian oil and coal, helping Russia sell its resources in spite of Western sanctions.
- Trade between the nations is worth more than $60 billion, and India expects this figure to reach $100 billion before 2030.
- This is a lifeline to Russia’s economy, allowing Russian President Vladimir Putin to continue the war against Ukraine.
Asia arises: The Bible prophesied an immense Asian alliance will coalesce in the end time. This alliance will be headed by Russia and China and will include India.
