  "account": "Russian President Vladimir Putin has emphasized the vast economic potential in cooperation with India, extending beyond logistical support. Speaking on the development of global transport routes, Putin expressed Russia's strong intent to partner with New Delhi on major international transit and shipping corridors. Russia has already piloted commercial vessels from China and South Korea, and is actively discussing the joint utilization of these beneficial maritime and connectivity routes with India. The strategically important International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) is also a focus, with Russia offering credit resources while waiting for Iran to complete its part of the work. Putin confirmed that the transit arrangements through Azerbaijan are on track, as confirmed by direct engagements with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. Putin also commended Prime Minister Narendra Modi's efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict, stating that Modi poses good ideas for a peaceful resolution.",
