Russia Accuses Quad Nations Of ā€˜Forcing’ India Into Military Bloc, Urges Revival Of RIC Alliance

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused Quad nations — the US, Japan, and Australia — of dragging India into a de facto military alliance, despite Delhi’s stated focus on economic ties. Speaking at a Eurasian security forum, Lavrov warned of coordinated naval drills aimed at militarizing Quad beyond its original scope. He also pushed to revive the dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral platform, asserting that Western powers are deliberately stoking Indo-China tensions by reframing the region as "Indo-Pacific" with anti-China goals. His remarks signal Moscow’s shifting strategic focus in Asia. #RussiaQuad #IndiaQuad #LavrovStatement #RICAlliance #IndiaChina #IndoPacific #RussiaIndiaChina #Geopolitics #QuadMilitary #MoscowDiplomacy #GlobalShifts #AsiaPacific #QuadTensions #RICRevival #LavrovWarning #GalwanClash #IndiaChinaBorder #WesternStrategies #MilitaryDrills #RussiaIndiaRelations Also Read India Rebukes Pakistan Over Indus Waters Treaty Remarks At UN Forum: 'Appalled' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-rebukes-pakistan-over-indus-waters-treaty-remarks-at-un-forum-appalled-4169437.html?ref=DMDesc Russia: Bridge Collapse Derails Train, At Least 7 Confirmed Dead :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-bridge-collapse-derails-train-at-least-7-confirmed-dead-4169275.html?ref=DMDesc Adani Ports taps its Largest Ever Domestic bond - 5,000 crore 15-year NCD :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/apsez-secures-inr-5000-crore-via-non-convertible-debentures-012-4168661.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~
