Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov noted that India is an important partner to Russia and that Jaishankar had already met his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov. Jaishankar and Lavrov undertook several steps to boost cooperation in their bilateral meeting earlier today.
Putin's critics said the decision showed that no one with genuine opposition views would be allowed to stand against him next March in the first presidential election since the start of the 22-month war.
According to reports, the Russian President suffered a cardiac arrest in his presidential bedroom and was taken to a secure medical facility after resuscitation. There have been several rumours about Putin's health before, however, the President and Kremlin have denied them each time.
The deceased in Kyiv were two security guards aged 26 and 36 years, while three people sustained injuries from falling debris, according to the city's Military Administration.
Prigozhin was confirmed dead on Sunday after a molecular-genetic analysis of the ten bodies found in plane crash. The victims included Dmitry Utkin, the alleged co-founder of the mercenary group.
Breaking his silence over Prigozhin's death, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he was a "talented businessman but made serious mistakes" in a reference to the short-lived mutiny in June.
"However, President Putin made it clear that Russia is ready to immediately resume the deal as soon as it is executed," Peskov stressed.
The restriction is said to originate from the Kremlin's campaign to safeguard what it considers to be the country's "traditional values."
The statement from Kremlin came as G7 leaders will sign the declaration in Vilnius on Wednesday on the sidelines of the second day of a Nato defence summit.
This came nearly three days after Prigozhin announced to halt his operation to oust the Russian regime after striking an apparent deal brokered by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin warned his forces would "destroy everything" in their way.
As per reports, pro-Ukrainian agents launched drones from within Moscow rather than flying them from Ukraine into the capital city.
The Russian Defense Ministry said five drones were shot down in Moscow and the systems of three others were jammed, causing them to veer off course.
The Belarusian 2020 presidential candidate claimed that Russia has been hiding information in order to give Putin-- a "clean chit" from his alleged involvement.
The Washington Post cited previously undisclosed documents from a trove of US intelligence leaks suggesting that Zelenskyy has considered trying to capture areas in Russia proper for possible use as bargaining chips in peace negotiations to end the war.
According to Peskov, Putin was at his Novo-Ogaryovo residence outside of Moscow at the time. He was not in the Kremlin at the time.
The trip marked a second visit by the Russian leader to the areas that Russia occupied in Ukraine in as many months.
Notably, this is the first meeting of Russian President Vladimir Putin with any global leader since the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for his atrocities on children in war-torn Ukraine.
Although the Ukrainian citizens were acquainted with Russia's ill intentions, they were oblivious that a topsy-turvy journey had been waiting for them.
