Russian Cosmonauts Send Independence Day Greetings to India from Space
Russian cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station sent Independence Day greetings to India, holding the Indian tricolour and highlighting the longstanding space cooperation between the two countries.

The message also marked 65 years since Yuri Gagarin's historic spaceflight and celebrated ongoing collaboration, including India's Gaganyaan program, wishing India peace and prosperity.
