India's economy benefits from Russia: What's in it for Moscow? | DW News 

1 million Indian soldiers died in world war 1 and another 100000 in world war 2 fighting for west,did the west ever recognised that?

German economy grew on Russian gas, what about that? 😂

Love it when Germans start talking about human rights. 😂

80% of the indian weapons are from Russia! During 1971 war with Pakistan Germany , USA are with Pakistan, that crucial time Russia helped india! That gratitude and relationship continue

Kept publishing bad image for India for decades and now wondering why russia and india are so close.😂😂

DW you tried anti Modi for 5 years ..

West is waste. Focus on rest..

US giving F-16 to Pakistan. India atleast is not arming Russia.

People don't know INDIA - RUSSIA HISTORY..they only talk about oil oil oil...

😂😂 journalism died in Europe.

We are not ungrateful people. Israel & Russia supported us when no one did (the most difficult times after our independence). That's why Indians have a soft corner for Russia and Israel. 🇮🇳 ❤🇮🇱 🇷🇺 Now France too is our good friend.

India will always be neutral - 🇮🇳 India represents peace and progress to all !

Foreign policy of Germany is decided in USA while foreign policy of India is decided in India itself

Really Europe stope buying oil seriously please speak the truth 😂😂

Re summarizing what India's FM said "Europe should understand that it's problems are not world's problems"

US equipping Pakistan with f16 and thinking why India is close to Russia

Both Hungary and India are looking for peaceful settlement of russia-Ukraine war but you guys think we are some kind of villain

West Failed to Bully Modi ji and India

5:36 : @MichaelK is not expert on India…. He is a professional propagandist !!! in India we look at him with suspicion !!!! ❌❌❌❌

🇮🇳🇷🇺 friendship is deep rooted not just on economic terms but also emotional

Why germany buying russian oil? 😂😂😂

Ask Western leaders about their war crimes in middle east Vietnam etc .World doesn't revolve around Europe

Guys do you know something called the 1971 war between India and Pakistan? When US and UK had sent their navy to attack India and USSR saved her?

It is not Germany's business if they come close or not.

I'm loving these Burnol moments of the Western Media 😂😂😂. Long live our friendship with Russia .

You just can't isolate Russia when two countries with a billion population each still support Russia. FACT

US colonial country Germany can't tell India what to do or how to do it. Every German mom knows, "There is an Indian who is always better than your dad."

Why are CHINA & GERMANY so close?😒

India don't leave old friends for new ones. Mind it.

The United States Army has over 40 military installations in Germany lol. Hey DW ask the german government if the US will allow you to build even one base in the US. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

EU banned oil and gas from russia,but india is clever they buy oil gas from russia with cheap price and sold to EU country😂😂 😂

I wonder what the best opportunities to invest now are, there are opinions but a little later I find out these opinions don't matter as a totally different turn of events play out with the stocks they discussed therein...

Burning over 3 hugs????…..my god

Bcos US supports Pakistan which forced the Indians to cosy to the Russians.

You have to realise that Russia does not become upset when India improves ties with usa or west. But why west or usa is upset when india is improves ties with Russia. That is the difference between a true friend and a jealous and poking partner. And USA and west had been always been ill minded

India get ready for Global hunger index 192/192 Democracy index 167/167 Media freedom index 180/180

India is playing this geopolitical chess game in a really smart way. Neutrality has alot of benefits.

West thinks india will follow their command. In one hand they are empowering Pakistan by giving weapons and on the other they expect India will condemn Russia. 😁😁😁

We Indians love giving free hugs.It’s none of your business.😅

Once Trump comes back, wars will Stop.

World doesn't revolve around Europe. India has a Independent foreign policy.... Cope with it....

Why nobody talks about 1971 , what Soviet Union did for us. Russia left nothing to prove that what a good friend she is.❤

Answer already given by our Honorable minister S. Jaishankar.

India does not take sides.....we have good relations with both Iran and Saudi Arabia , US and Russia , Israel and Palestine , S Korea and N Korea....... thats the way we are....

"They both hugged twice for a long time" this got me rolling 😂😂

Modi Visited Russia, Russia honoured Modi with their highest Civilian award. Now Indians must get ready for ranks given by west like : Happiness index 192/192 Press Freedom 180/180 Global Hunger Index 134/134 Democracy Index 166/166 . West can only do this to show their protests against India 🤣🤣🤣😆

India is playing both sides, the most profitable position.

West be like - let me reduce India’s rating in all index. Now on India’s hunger index 5000/192 Media freedom index 10000/162

Hypocrisy and the west, can't be separated 😂

Rise of Global South: 16k western sanctions on Russia failed due to the Global South.

They hugged twice during the visit... OMG😳 😱😂😂

CHINA RUSSIA INDIA need to make one economy like EURO and let sign free trade agreements if that happens the entire world will be on their knees ....

Long live the India-Russia friendship! 🇮🇳 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇮🇳 "Our air craft carrier and ships were surrounded by the US and UK navy and that moment looked bleak. I asked for orders as I was commanding the Eastern Fleet. We knew we probably won't be able to stop these two naval forces. Just then, like a tiger leaping out of a bush rose the nuclear armed Russian submarines in the Indian Ocean. The Russians were here. They had to flee." - Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Vice Admiral Nilakanta Krishnan (1971) “The Chief Commander’s order was that our submarines should surface when the Americans appear. It was done to demonstrate to them that we had nuclear submarines in the Indian Ocean. So when our subs surfaced, they recognised us. In the way of the American navy stood the Soviet cruisers, destroyers and atomic submarines equipped with anti-ship missiles. We encircled them and trained our missiles at the enterprise. We blocked them and did not allow them to close in on Karachi, Chittagong or Dhaka." - the Commander of the Pacific Fleet, Admiral Vladimir Kruglyakov

India is not US, who forgets its ally when the situation like this happens. Russia is our time trusted ally, when no one helped India during 1971 war with Pakistan only Russia then USSR stood by us that made India win that war. So now its our turn to keep that friendship without bearing the pressure from west.

A wise man once said - "Europe has to grow out of the mindset that its problems are the world’s problems but the world’s problems are not Europe’s problems." “If I were to take Europe collectively which has been singularly silent on many things which were happening, for example in Asia, you could ask why would anybody in Asia trust Europe on anything at all,” - EAM Jayashankar.

Europe still thinks that World revolves around them, sooo ignorant people .😂😂

Cry Hard West 😭😂😆

Europe & USA is not the entire world i repeat Europe & USA is not the entire world... So it's better come out of that fobia & accept the reality thanku 🇮🇳🙏

Germany economy is surviving because of Russian Oil & Gas, Hypocrisy 😂

Both the nations have shared a friendly relationship for more than half a century. It was Russia that stepped in to protect India when the US sent their fleet to help Pakistan attack India. The US had to call back their fleet bound for Pakistan when Russia intervened.

Believe me no leader can say these words in front of Putin

Ukraine President Should Be Thankful to MP Modi ❤ Because Modi Ji Has Guts to Say Putin's Face to Face that "War is not the solution and everyday innocent people and childrens are dying" which Ukraine President doesn't have.

India has a rich history of enduring relationships, marked by trust and loyalty. Unlike many, India has a clean record when it comes to international relations, free from deceit or aggression. The longstanding bond with Russia is a testament to India's consistent diplomatic approach. It's a nation built on principles of peace and cooperation, making it a reliable partner on the global stage. We have to learn from India.

No one tells Modi what to do. Modi will do what is good for India's economy and interests.

India is not another one of America's colony, but a sovereign republic, unlike Europe.

Useless news channel i have ever seen

Does macron also need a hug?? Is he missing Modi?? 😂

Russia has proved to be a true friend in 1971 when US Warships landed before indian shores and India trying to stop the genocide in Bangladesh

India just want to promote and protect its own interest, which is basic and logical.

You show an incorrect map of India in all your videos and expect India to align with your sentiments,is quite ironic and hypocritical to say the least😅

India's position on the Russia-Ukraine war has been consistent - India is against the war. At the same time, it doesn't need to choose either side.

What about Europeans who looted and killed millions of Indians, Africans, and other part of the world. Russia is a best friend to India. India benefitted from Russia and not from Europe or America. We Indians always support Russia

Its karma of 1971 If usa helped india from the starting , maybe india stand with usa today but yeah they racist showed themselves in 1971

You mentioned the part where Indian economy has benefited from russian oil import but I clearly remember that Modi mentioned that global economy too was helped due to the oil imports! What you forgot to mention that part?

Meanwhile thousands of USA military are stationed in Germany and all over Europe, DW media can you tell us more about that mad people everywhere 🤣

Long Live India Russia Friendship !

They are just jealous bcoz they can't get cheaply but we can

@DW : no womder you are banned from Roos…. Modi hugging is the only thing you can talk about . You let your own people down by severing cheapest gas ⛽️ 😂😂😂

Problem is that western countries have lost the morale high ground after what they did in Iraq and Afghanistan. NATO is viewed completely differently in south Asian countries from how the news channels portrait them.

Do not forget India and Russia is a friends not only now but from last 50 years

What's about war crimes in Afghanistan, Vietnam, Iraq etc...why you don't talk about this

What bout the news biden hugging netanyahu? 😂

NO you got it all wrong ...Russia help India when no one would , that is why india remembers...you reap what you sow

Putin called Modi “Param Dost,” which translates to “Best Friend.” In return, Modi expressed how Indians react to the name of Russia: "A true friend that has stayed with India in its gains and losses." India today has come a long way from what it was a decade ago. It is expected to become the third-largest economy in two to three years. As an Indian and someone interested in geopolitics, I am confident that the friendship between India and Russia will endure as long as they exist. Their relationship is based on emotions, compounded by years of mutual trust and respect and it is something the West can never pressure India out of.

DW & the western media should undestand that even the people who are born after 1971, we have been rightly told who stood by India when it mattered the most So, the love shown towards Russia is actually towards what Soviet Union has done for us in the past..that would never go away

Bro what's up with that hair cut is that 1970 she live in 😂

That's called diplomacy not awkward position!!! Common!!!!

What about EU buying refined oil from India? Which is basically Russian oil. Transactions are in billions. European media is so biased and don’t spread the news on what they are exactly doing. They are good at blaming other countries for all the problems in World. They are the best at this.

Its not an awkward situation...west is being awkward 😂😂😂

Emily needs a haircut before commenting about modi...Emily s hair is like my bushes down under 😂😂😂😂😂

Europe never stopped buying gas qnd reprocessed petroleum products from India.

They are excited for the future. A future without a weaponized dollar

The reporter is wrong in the way she expressed. The reality is Russia needs a friend who can make them realise about their errors and loss of life in Ukraine. If you directly play blame game with Putin, then it might backfire and Modi is representing more than 100 crore Indians when he goes to any country. He needs to strategically plan and make the move as he is the leader of the world largest democracy. Also remember- Russia has always been support to India when we needed them

He is the only person who can try to end this war, and bring some hope of peace. Rest other leaders are currently hopeless 😂

To all Russian brothers and sisters, India was,is and will always be standing beside you no matter what.....long live our special privileged strategic partnership

If anywhere there is conflicts crisis europe and europeans are responsible by orgin

Did they answed the question "why are India and Russia so close?"

Frustration of western media is on another level 😂

Western media not accepting india is king of diplomacy 😅

Russia has always sided with India since the time of USSR even against USA while Ukraine has supplied battle tanks to pakistan, voted against India in UN about Abrogation of A370 and made fun of our Goddess Kali Maa via their official national twitter handle.
