‘The US itself still buys nuclear fuel from us for its own nuclear power plants,’ the Russian president told ‘India Today’ in an interview.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that the partnership between India and Russia is not directed against any country and is based solely on safeguarding the national interests of both sides, India Today reported.
In an interview with the news channel released on Thursday, shortly before he arrived in New Delhi for a two-day summit with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Putin was asked about mounting United States pressure on both countries and the recent tariff measures introduced by President Donald Trump.
The Russian president maintained that “neither me nor Prime Minister Modi, despite certain external pressure we face, have ever…approached our collaboration to work against someone”.
Putin said that Trump “has his own agenda, his own goals, whereas we focus on ours – not against anyone, but rather aimed at safeguarding our respective interests, India’s and Russia’s interests”.
