India has openly defied US pressure by deepening its partnership with Russia during the 23rd India-Russia Annual Summit. Modi and Putin finalized an economic roadmap to double trade to $100 billion by 2030, while Russia pledged uninterrupted oil and fuel shipments to India—directly contradicting Washington’s expectations. Despite US sanctions, tariffs, and pressure over Ukraine, India refused to criticize Moscow and instead signed over a dozen agreements in energy, nuclear cooperation, migration, health, and defense.

Putin accused the US of hypocrisy for buying Russian nuclear fuel while pressuring India not to. Full breakdown of India’s strategic autonomy, US-India tensions, and the future of global power politics.
