The message noted that Modi “expressed understanding regarding this decision.”
Earlier in August, Putin backed out of attending the BRICS summit in South Africa in person because of an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
The G20 summit is scheduled to take place on September 9-10 in New Delhi, and, in advance, the Kremlin is preparing Putin’s trip to India.
In August, the visit of the President of the Russian Federation to Turkey was planned, but was canceled. Today, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Putin’s meeting with the President of this country, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is being prepared.
