“India Has The Right”: Putin Slams U.S. Criticism, Says Trump Should Respect India–Russia Trade

In an explosive exclusive interview with India Today’s Geeta Mohan and Aaj Tak’s Anjana Om Kashyap, Russian President Vladimir Putin tackled the hottest geopolitical questions head-on. From oil sanctions to tariff wars, Putin responded sharply to US President Donald Trump’s accusations and global pressure on India–Russia ties. Putin stressed that neither he nor PM Modi has ever shaped cooperation “against anyone,” insisting the partnership protects national interests without harming others. Calling out U.S. criticism, he reminded that America itself buys Russian nuclear fuel. On Trump’s tariff “weaponization,” Putin said every leader follows their own agenda—but warned that WTO violations cannot be ignored. A powerful, unfiltered conversation. Listen in.
