New Delhi: The recent meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin has left India in a more advantageous diplomatic position, with potential economic and strategic gains, according to foreign affairs expert Robinder Sachdev.
Speaking to IANS, Sachdev said the outcome was largely a win for Putin, but also beneficial for India as it could avert additional sanctions and even lead to tariff relief.
He said that the Trump-Putin meeting, while not a sweeping success for Trump, proved to be a strategic win for Putin and offered India a favourable opening in global diplomacy.
“For Putin, it was a victory. His approach of prioritising a peace formula over an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine prevailed,” Sachdev said.
“Ukraine, the US, and Europe wanted a ceasefire first, but the post-meeting outcome reflected Putin’s terms.” (IANS)
