Putin to visit India for 1st time since Ukraine war

As Kyiv marked 1,000 days since the start of the Russian invasion, Peskov said Moscow appreciates efforts by all countries to solve the crisis in Ukraine, especially those of a "great friend" such as India.

"I hope soon we'll work out the precise dates of [Putin's] visit," Peskov said when he was asked about the possibility of the Russian leader visiting India at a virtual media briefing organised by Sputnik News Agency.

"After two visits of Prime Minister [Narendra] Modi to Russia, now we have a visit of President Putin to India. We are looking forward to it. We'll start very precise preparations for the visit. We attach very great importance to these contacts," he said, adding he had no further details to share.

People familiar with the matter on the Russian side said on condition of anonymity that the visit is expected only in 2025.

Putin last travelled to India in December 2021 for an annual summit and the proposed visit will be the first since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
