Indian Air Force does not expect to be negatively affected by US sanctions on Russia and India’s relationship with both nations is strong, IAF Vice Chief Air Marshal Sandeep Singh told reporters on Wednesday.
“We know the geopolitical situation is difficult (currently). Our relations with Russia will continue,” Singh said at a press briefing.
Russia started its military invasion against its neighbour Ukraine on February 24. Western nations including the US have imposed major economic and other sanctions on Russia following the offensive.
Three aircraft have departed to evacuate stranded citizens, the Indian Air Force vice chief said. The IAF vice chief said the evacuation operations will run round the clock till all Indians are bought back.
