Russian Ambassador Says US Aims to Contain India's Growth, Citing Raisina Dialogue Remarks
Russian Ambassador Denis Alipov stated that a senior US official at the Raisina Dialogue admitted the US would not allow India to become a competitor like China, calling it a "Freudian slip." He said the US aims to contain India's growth, viewing the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act as part of this effort. Alipov emphasized India's inevitable rise as a superpower and noted US measures target India's economic and geopolitical expansion. The Indian government has not officially responded to these remarks.
