🎙Embassy comment on former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s claims
During Boris Johnson’s telephone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 2, 2022 former UK PM apparently perceived a looming threat coming from the Russian side of a missile strike directed against him personally.
While intentionally violating the privacy of leaders’ conversation Mr Johnson also managed to distort its content and give it exactly the opposite meaning. Speaking of threats President Putin stressed that should NATO missiles be deployed near the Russia-Ukraine border, their flying time to central Russia, including Moscow, would be reduced to 7-8 minutes.
❗️Such statements only lead to further escalation of the acute military and political tensions in the European continent, in which the UK is getting more and more involved by the day.

Key points:
• Multiple problems have piled up in our bilateral relations. As you might imagine, the root cause lies in the US policy towards Russia.
• Unfortunately, during all recent years, Washington was guided by the principle that its egoistic interest is all that matters, while all the rest can be ignored. This is why we were seeing a deliberate dismantling of the entire arms control structure.
• The New START treaty may also fall victim to this approach. We are ready for this scenario. However, we are not hiding that this is not our choice.
• It would be rational to take a different path – to resume the discussion of strategic stability and start working on a new security equation that would consider all factors affecting strategic stability.
• Obviously, the United States is not only the main driver of this entire crisis in Ukraine but also its biggest beneficiary. In part, Washington views Ukraine as a testing ground for the products of its defence manufacturers.
• Sadly, the level of US expertise on Russian issues has declined precipitously during the past decade. If not for that, Washington would have pursued a much more sensible and adequate policy towards Russia.
• We consider Russian-US consultations useful for comparing our positions. We hope the tactics of small steps will allow us to eventually find mutually acceptable solutions to the most important issues on our bilateral agenda.

🇷🇺🤝🇮🇳 The Indian Council of World Affairs and the Russian International Affairs Council held a forum discussion in New Delhi today, with experts from both organizations discussing the topic 'India-Russia Strategic Partnership: New Challenges & Opportunities in Changing World Order.' The discussions were led by Amb Vijay Thakur Singh, DG of ICWA, and Dr Andrey Kortunov, DG of RIAC. Russian Ambassador to India Denis Alipov and Indian Ambassador to Russia Pavan Kapoor also shared their insights.
During the forum, Ambassador Alipov highlighted the significance of India's current presidencies in the G20 and the SCO emphasizing the importance of a consensus-based approach to addressing the challenges of emerging energy and food crises and sustainable development needs, particularly in the Global South.

The Russian Ambassador also stated that the Russian-Indian strategic partnership, rooted in a rich history, remains critical in safeguarding the fundamental interests of the people of both friendly nations.
