Why did Modi come to Putin: a political strategist analyzed the features of the visit Melania Golembyovskaya

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to visit Vladimir Putin at a time when Russia was shelling the Okhmatdyt children's hospital in Kyiv. Modi came to solve his problems, and such a guest is very beneficial for Russia.

This opinion 24 Channelsaid political strategist Boris Tizengauzen, noting that India “controls the fate” of Russian oil, which is processed and exported further. US Democrats do not react to this visit in any way because of their own interests.

Features of Modi’s visit to Putin

According to Tizenhausen, Russia demonstratively carried out a strike on a children's medical facility in the morning, when it was already light, so that the results could be seen, which should have looked as threatening as possible . This event did not stop Modi and he came to Putin to solve his own problems and ask for cheap oil.

It’s difficult for him the third elections have arrived, now cheap oil is the key to the loyalty of the electorate,” noted the political strategist.

However, Tizenhausen said that the matter is not even about the Prime Minister of India himself. Sanctions apply to Russian oil, but not to petroleum products produced from processed Russian oil. That is, India has become a key country where Russian oil is supplied, which is either processed at Indian or joint oil refineries, or exported further.

In particular, even some European countries purchase fuel from processed Russian oil,” the political strategist noted.

That is why, according to him, Putin seemed to make a “kind gesture” by announcing that “Indian citizens who were deceived into joining the war will return before the end of the contract.” However, in reality, Russian recruiters deceived Indians by promising high salaries.

They said that in Russia there are good earnings They will help you get into universities. They lured them to Russia and then sent them to war,” Tiesenhausen explained.

In addition to all this, Russia has become closer to China, which is India’s strategic opponent. Modi aims to offer Putin something better than Xi Jinping.

Dictators don't play by the rules

According to a political strategist, the biggest problem with modern democracy is that dictators can play without the rules that democracy itself adheres to.

No matter how many sanctions are imposed, there are India and China that support and maintain the positive dynamics of the Russian economy. And Biden is worried that if he aggressively begins to fight the Russian shadow fleet or hit Russian oil, this will affect world markets, which he does not need on the eve of the elections, Tiesenhausen added.
