Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that several “very successful” documents are being finalized ahead of President Vladimir Putin’s upcoming visit to India.
The agreements are in advanced stages and are expected to be signed during the visit, Peskov said at the Sputnik India briefing.
Addressing questions on energy and payments, Peskov stressed that Russia has developed significant resilience in navigating sanctions-related restrictions.
"We have a deep experience in performing under regime of these illegal sanctions. We have our own technologies in doing that," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
Peskov confirmed that the S-400 air-defense system will be one of the prominent items in the upcoming bilateral agenda.
“I have no doubt it will be discussed during the visit,” he said, noting that members of the Russian delegation accompanying President Putin will be prepared to address the topic in detail.
The Su-57 fifth-generation fighter jet will also be part of the discussions between the two sides. Peskov described the aircraft as the most advanced of its kind.
