Russian state news agencies reported that India received arms worth around $13 billion from Russia in the past five years. Moreover, New Delhi has further placed orders with Moscow for weapons and military equipment exceeding $10 billion.
India accounts for around 20 percent of Moscows current order book and is the worlds biggest buyer of Russian arms. While New Delhi has not openly condemned Russias invasion of Ukraine, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for dialogue and diplomacy to solve the conflict.
