Putin's India visit: Big deals, bigger message
Russian President Vladimir Putin just wrapped up his first trip to India since the Ukraine war, bringing along top ministers and signing numerous new agreements.
Over two days, both countries agreed to work together on defense, trade, health, agriculture, and energy—showing they're serious about being long-term partners.
