Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his anticipation for his upcoming visit to India in early December and has ordered the government to devise measures to soften the trade imbalance with India due to the heavy import of crude by New Delhi. Speaking at the international Valdai discussion forum of security and geopolitical experts from 140 countries, including India, in the Black Sea resort of Sochi in South Russia on Thursday evening, Putin underlined that Russia and India have never had any problems or tensions between them and always took actions by keeping in view their sensitivities. "We have never had any problems or interstate tensions with India. Never," the Russian leader noted. Putin highlighted the "special" nature of Russia-India relations since the days of the Soviet Union, when India was fighting for its independence. "In India, they remember this, they know it, and they value it. We appreciate that India has not forgotten it," he declared. He referred to Prime

Trump's 'paper tiger' jab at Russia echoes Mao's propaganda against US

Nearly 80 years after Mao Zedong called the United States a paper tiger to boost morale at home, US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are exchanging barbs who is the paper tiger of today. In a September 23 post on Truth Social, Trump mocked Russia's military powers and called the country a paper tiger, prompting the Kremlin to push back. Trump backed off, but on Tuesday he brought back the dismissive rhetoric when addressing a roomful of generals and admirals. You're four years fighting a war that should have taken a week," Trump said of Russia's war with Ukraine. "Are you a paper tiger? On Thursday, Putin retorted, We are fighting against the entire bloc of NATO, and we keep moving, keep advancing and feel confident, and we are a paper tiger; what NATO itself is? He added: A paper tiger? Go and deal with this paper tiger then. Those familiar with modern Chinese history have found it amusing, odd and not without irony that an American president should be .

Putin praises Trump but warns US over supplies of missile to Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned the United States that supplies of long-range missiles to Ukraine will seriously damage relations between Moscow and Washington but will not change the situation on the battlefield where the Russian army is making slow but steady advances. The potential supply of US Tomahawk cruise missiles to Kyiv will signal a qualitatively new stage of escalation, including in relations between Russia and the US," Putin said at a forum of foreign policy experts in Russia's Black Sea resort of Sochi. The Russian leader noted that even though Tomahawk missiles will inflict damage on Russia if supplied to Ukraine, Russian air defences will quickly adapt to the new threat. It will certainly not change the balance of force on the battlefield, he added, emphasising that the Russian military is continuously making gains against Ukraine. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Putin's remarks. At the same time, Putin hailed US ...

No intent to attack Europe, but aggression will get decisive reply: Russia

As new tensions rise between Russia and NATO powers, Moscow's top diplomat insisted to world leaders Saturday that his nation doesn't intend to attack Europe but will mount a "decisive response" to any aggression. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov spoke at the UN General Assembly after weeks in which unauthorised flights into NATO's airspace intrusions the alliance blames on Russia have raised alarm around Europe, particularly after NATO jets downed drones over Poland and Estonia said Russian fighter jets flew into its territory and lingered for 12 minutes. Russia has denied that its planes entered Estonian airspace and has said the drones didn't target Poland, with Moscow's ally Belarus maintaining that Ukrainian signal-jamming sent the devices off course. But European leaders see the incidents as intentional, provocative moves meant to rattle NATO and to assess how the alliance will respond. The alliance warned Russia this week that NATO would use all means to defend against any ..

Russia to launch first closed fuel cycle nuclear system by 2030: Putin

Russia will launch by 2023 the world's first nuclear power system with a closed fuel cycle, which will reuse spent fuel several times and drastically reduce the need for uranium supplies, President Vladimir Putin announced on Thursday. Putin made the announcement at the World Atomic Week international forum here, which gathered several world leaders including International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi. As early as 2030, we plan to launch the world's first nuclear energy system with a closed fuel cycle in Russia, in the Tomsk Region, Putin said. In his televised speech at the forum, the Russian leader called it a "truly revolutionary development by Russian scientists and engineers". He said that virtually the entire volume 95 per cent of spent fuel will be reused in reactors multiple times. "Such a mechanism will ultimately make it possible to almost completely resolve the problem of radioactive waste accumulation. And, what's also crucial, it will .
