Russian Envoy Says US Intends to Contain India's Rise, Citing Raisina Dialogue Remark
Russian Ambassador Denis Alipov stated that a US official's remark at the Raisina Dialogue revealed Washington's intent to prevent India from becoming a competitor like China, calling it a 'Freudian slip.' He cited the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act as an example of US measures aimed at containing India's economic and geopolitical growth. Alipov emphasized India's strategic autonomy, noting its continued purchase of Russian oil benefits its economy, not Russia. The ambassador also highlighted the longstanding India-Russia partnership.
