Pakistan and China came together, why did Russia remain silent on Operation Sindoor? Has India lost Russia?

Russia’s stance on Operation Sindoor: A question that may have come into the minds of many people during the India-Pakistan tensions is the role of Russia while India attacked Pakistan. The defence equipment of Russia including the S-400 air defence system of Russia and the Brahmos missile gained headlines but what was missed is a statement from the higher Russian authorities supporting India in its action against terrorism sponsored by Pakistan. Here are all the details you need to know about the recent development.

Russia’s stance on Operation Sindoor

Media reports have it that Russia neither supported nor opposed India’s Operation Sindoor. More surprisingly, Russia also did not comment on Pakistan’s terrorist network while India conducted its ‘Operation Sindoor’ on the terror attacks in Pakistan.

“We appeal to all parties to exercise restraint and advise to give priority to dialogue for regional stability”, Russian Foreign Ministry’s brief said. Readers must note that the relationship between India and Russia has not only been strategic. However, the strategic situation after the Ukraine war has changed a lot.

Russian President Putin to visit India following PM Modi’s invitation during bilateral talks

In another significant development, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held telephone talks as reported by the official website of the Russian President. The two leaders spoke by phone to discuss the strategic strength of Russia-India relations, which TV BRICS described as a uniquely privileged partnership.

As reported by news agency ANI, President Putin reiterated his condolences over the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, and as cited by TV BRICS, both sides stressed the urgent need for continued cooperation in combating terrorism.

PM Modi also extended an invitation to President Putin to visit India for the traditional annual bilateral summit, a gesture that, as per TV BRICS, was warmly received and accepted by the Russian side.
