Vladimir Putin once again proved that Russia is a true friend of India. He has said that his government will take measures to reduce the damage caused by tariff to India. Russia can buy more pharmaceutical and agricultural products from India.
Putin has criticized US President Donald Trump’s decision to impose 50 percent tariff on India. He has instructed his government to take measures to reduce the trade imbalance being caused to India due to purchasing crude oil from Russia. India buys crude oil from Russia on a large scale, due to which there is a huge imbalance in trade between the two countries. Now due to buying Russian oil, America is putting pressure on India by putting huge tariffs, so Putin wants to reduce trade imbalance between the two countries.
On Thursday (October 2, 2025), Putin said this in the Black Sea Resort in Sochi, Russia, in the International Valdai discussion of the security of 140 countries including India and the International Validai discussion. He said that the loss of India from American tariffs will be repaid by import of Russian crude oil and India will also get a reputation as a sovereign nation.
Russia will buy medicines from India
Putin has indicated that Russia can buy medicines from India to compensate for this loss. He said that this trade imbalance can be reduced by purchasing India’s pharmaceutical and agricultural products. Last month, Trump had announced a 100 percent tariff on India’s patent drugs from October 1, while generic medicines were excluded from it.
Vladimir Putin said that there is no political aspect in the measures he has asked for India to take business, this is an economic calculation. He said that if India leaves Russian resources, then it will cause a lot of damage. He said that different estimates have been made, some say that there may be a loss of 9-10 billion dollars, but if he does not do so, then he will be seated and that loss is going to be the same.
Putin said why India will do this, if it leaves Russian resources, then it will also cause domestic political losses and Indians will never let their insults be insulted. He said, ‘Indian people never give anyone a chance to insult. I know Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he will never take such a decision.
Indians will not allow their insults, said Putin
Putin said on the relations between India and Russia that there was never any problem between us, it never happened that due to some reason there was a tension situation between the two countries. Vladimir Putin said that the relations between India and Russia are strong since the time of the Soviet Union, India was struggling for independence at that time.
He said that the people of India have not forgotten it even today, they know our relationship and appreciate it. We praise that India never ignored its relationship with Russia. Putin appreciated the Nationalist Government of India led by PM Modi and described PM Modi as a balanced, intelligent and nation -friendly leader.
