Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had an "insightful" 45-minute conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin during a summit in China, where they held discussions inside Putin's car. The meeting is seen as significant amidst escalating US tariffs on Indian goods for buying Russian oil and weapons. The camaraderie between Modi and Putin, following a summit hosted by China's Xi Jinping, is seen as a challenge to US dominance on a global level. Putin expressed gratitude to Modi and Xi for their support in resolving the Ukrainian crisis at the Tianjin summit.
