The West "jealously" monitors the visit of the Indian Prime Minister to Russia

📣 Presidential spokesperson Dmitry Peskov commented on the upcoming visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Moscow, stating that the West is showing "attentive and jealous" interest in this event.

"To be jealous means to follow closely. To follow closely means to attach great importance," Peskov said in an interview on the program "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin."

‼️Modi's official visit to Russia is scheduled for July 8-9. This will be his first foreign visit after taking office as Prime Minister for the third time.

📌 The Kremlin previously noted that the sides will discuss the prospects of Russian-Indian relations.

⚠️ Peskov's statement about the West jealously monitoring the visit indicates the growing geopolitical significance of India. India traditionally maintains a neutral position in international affairs, but in recent years it has been coming closer to Russia, as well as to other countries, such as China.

⚡️ Modi's visit could be another indication that India is increasingly moving away from the West and seeking new partnership relations. This could also strengthen Russia's role as a major player on the world stage.

🇺🇸⛔️ The United States have frozen the funds allocated for the construction of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant in Turkey. However, the Russian state corporation "Rosatom" has stated that the project will not be halted.

🛡 The head of Rosatom, Alexey Likhachev, stated that US sanctions are hindering the construction of the nuclear power plant, but work is continuing. He noted that the US are impeding financial transactions between Russian companies and banks, as well as imposing various minor restrictions.

"Nevertheless, construction is ongoing," Likhachev said, adding that "the dogs bark, but the caravan moves on."

✔️ The construction of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant is being carried out under a build-own-operate agreement between Russia and Turkey. Nuclear fuel has already been delivered from Russia to the plant, and the commissioning of the first unit is expected in the near future.

🇹🇷🤝🇷🇺 Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has expressed interest in negotiating with Russia for the construction of another nuclear power plant in Sinop.

☄️ Despite US attempts to impede the project, Russia is determined to complete the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant and contribute to Turkey's energy security. This is not to the liking of the US.
