But this year the case is a bit complicated. In fact, this year Russia has also called Chinese President Xi Jinping and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un on the parade. Both leaders are openly supporting Russia in Russia Ukraine War. Now the situation of India is slightly different. India has always opposed the war and supported peace. If Prime Minister Modi goes to this parade and he also shares the stage with Kim Jong Un and Xi Jinping, then its wrong signal will go to the world. America and Western countries especially. Donald Trump has announced to stop the Ukraine War. They are strict against both Russia and China. Right now the US has held the tariff on India for 90 days.

If India goes to Victory Day then America is sure to be angry. In such a situation, this is a diplomatic dilemma for India. On the other hand there was news that India’s import of arms from Russia was 72 % between 2000 and 2019. That is, India used to buy 72 percent of the total purchased weapons from Russia. But this figure has come down between 2020 and 2024 to 36 %. Talking about the current time, 64 percent of India’s arms imports are consisting of indigenous and western countries. Another main reason behind the decrease in import of weapons from Russia is the decrease in the spleen chain due to the war of Russia and Ukraine. Apart from this, India’s national interest policy earlier. Despite all the good relationships, always take decisions only by looking at India’s interest. In this episode, when India gets a good weapon deal from any western countries compared to Russia, India selects it.
