Blame it on the geopolitical events, India-Russia ties have been under stress Denis Alipov, Russian Ambassador to India said on February 6. "Our (India-Russia) relations have always been friendly, equal, trusted & robust; Maybe not so comprehensive as we want them to be, but still very much diversified, mutually beneficial & supportive," Alipov said.

"Today, however, our ties are under stress as we face tectonic geopolitical shifts that have been on the way for quite some time," the Russian Ambassador added.
