Putin Turns to India to Help Build Nuclear Reactors

摘要

Facing a stumbling economy at home and increasingly biting Western sanctions, Russian President Vladimir Putin sought to strengthen once-close relationship with India through an ambitious plan to help New Delhi build at least 12 new nuclear reactors. Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi ended a day of talks by announcing a clutch of agreements in energy and defense, including a plan to manufacture advanced Russian military helicopters in India, and the possibility of exporting them to other countries.
