Russia to Support India with Troops? "There's No Other Choice. They’ll Kill 30 People and Calm Down"

Russia has expressed full support for India in its ongoing conflict with Pakistan. According to sources from the Telegram channel INSIDER-T, Kremlin officials and representatives of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs have already contacted Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, emphasizing their stance in favor of New Delhi.

The channel's authors report that this decision is linked to India's role as a co-founder of BRICS. The Kremlin has urged Indian authorities to exercise restraint and limit themselves to targeted strikes on locations where, according to Indian intelligence, terrorists are based. "India is a co-founder of BRICS, and Moscow simply could not fail to support it in this situation. The situation must not spiral out of control, or it could take a threatening turn," the sources noted.

Additionally, several interlocutors within the Russian Presidential Administration indicated a readiness to organize a peace summit to resolve the conflict between the two sides. However, the Russian Foreign Ministry expressed concerns that "the window for diplomacy, unfortunately, may already be closed."

In recent days, India and Pakistan have exchanged strikes, with each side launching approximately 10 attacks, resulting in the deaths of 10 to 30 people on each side. Despite these events, the international community has shown relatively low levels of concern, given that both countries possess nuclear arsenals estimated at around 170 warheads each, according to Russian political analyst Sergei Markov.

Experts believe the two sides may exchange blows once or twice more before the situation begins to de-escalate. These events highlight the deep-seated animosity between Hindus and Muslims, as well as unresolved territorial disputes that have long been a source of conflict.

On the international stage, China has expressed support for Pakistan, while India receives backing from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Israel. Islamic countries, including Turkey, have also sided with Pakistan.

Russia maintains a neutral position in this conflict, though it is worth noting that India has closer ties with Moscow than Pakistan does, Markov emphasizes.

"The forecast is that another 20 people will be killed, and then everything will calm down," Markov remarked.

Meanwhile, last year, Russian Presidential Assistant Yuri Ushakov noted that BRICS is a fully neutral organization. Within BRICS, it is emphasized that the alliance "has never had and does not have a military or military-technical component." Despite existing cooperation in politics and security, no joint military exercises at the BRICS level are planned.

Furthermore, BRICS countries oppose the deployment of weapons and an arms race in outer space, stressing the importance of peaceful space exploration and international cooperation in this domain.
