What happened

Russian-Indian relations are based on friendship; there is no scenario in which the paths of Russia and India would diverge, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told RT India in an interview.

Why it matters

"There isn’t just one word for these relations.

Common ground

Not because human languages aren’t rich enough, but because it is hard to imagine a relationship so full and deep," the top diplomat noted in response to a question on the matter.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Appeal to Fear, Slogans: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
