Putin says India, Russia collaboration not directed against anyone

Russia's President Vladimir Putin on Thursday said if the United States has the right to buy Russian fuel, why "shouldn't India have the same privilege." As for India's purchase of energy resources from Russia, I would like to note and have already mentioned publicly this once, the United States itself still buys nuclear fuel from us for its own nuclear power plants," Putin said in an interview to India Today. Speaking on Trump's tariffs, Putin said, “He (Trump) is acting in good faith, I presume.” “He pursues his own policy and he has advisors. His decisions aren't made out of thin air. He has advisors who believe in implementing such tariff policies involving the imposition of additional duties on trade partners ultimately benefits the US economy. He is acting in good faith, I presume,” Putin said. He added that Russia does not follow such practices, nor do the country has the intention of doing so in the future.

He further said that the India-Russia collaboration is not directed against any country and it is solely aimed at safeguarding the national interests of the two sides. Putin said certain "actors" dislike New Delhi's growing role in international markets in view of its close relations with Moscow and these elements are aiming to constrain India's influence for political reasons by imposing "artificial obstacles".

"Neither me nor Prime Minister Modi, despite certain external pressure we face, have never approached our collaboration to work against someone," the Russian president said in response to a question on Washington's aggressive approach. "President 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," he said.
