Following the 1962 Sino-Indian War, the Soviet Union’s initial neutral stance gradually shifted in favor of India. In a significant move in December 1962, the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev expressed views that implicitly criticized China and supported India’s position on the border dispute. This public shift highlighted the growing Sino-Soviet ideological split and Moscow’s strategic alignment with India.

Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet Premier in 1962, publicly indicated Soviet support for India and criticized China after the Sino-Indian War.

The Soviet Union had significant strategic interests in maintaining good relations with India, which was a key non-aligned nation and a potential counterweight to both the Western bloc and increasingly, China. This stance marked a turning point in Soviet-Indian relations and further strained Soviet-Chinese ties.
