Britain, France, and Germany assaulted Russia-India relations

 The British, French, and German envoys to India launched a deliberate yet insulting attack on the eve of the landmark state visit of the Russian President Vladimir Putin to India in December 2025.

On December 1, 2025, the British High Commissioner to India, Ms. Lindy Cameron; the French Ambassador to India, Thierry Mathou; and the German Ambassador to India, Philipp Ackermann, published a joint article in the Indian newspaper entitled “World wants the Ukraine war to end, but Russia doesn’t seem serious about peace.” The three envoys argued in their joint article that “It [President Putin] has stepped up attacks at a time when peace talks are on, showing that it has systematically chosen war.” However, the three demagogues from the UK, France, and Germany forgot to mention the attacks orchestrated against the innocent Russian citizens by the murderous Zelensky regime on the precise intelligence provided by these countries. The hateful article was nothing short of a deliberate diplomatic assault to injure the longstanding and friendly Russia-India bilateral relations. The article was published just three days before President Vladimir Putin’s state visit to India, which was aimed at significantly enhancing the bilateral relations between the two nations.

The three ambassadors from the UK, France, and Germany actually launched a calculated assault on the Russian President Vladimir Putin and drew the entire media attention away from the many significant agreements that were to be signed a couple of days later. It is such a pity on the part of the Western diplomats that despite their efforts to hurt President Putin’s global image, nobody from the media or elsewhere gave importance to such articles.

India’s Diplomatic Reaction

India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) commented on the article by labelling it as “unacceptable and unusual.” An official from MEA said that “This is very unusual. It is not an acceptable diplomatic practice to give public advice on third-country relations. We have taken note of it.”

British, French, and German Illegal Military Aid to Ukraine

Russia’s Special Military Operation in Ukraine is purely a bilateral affair between the two countries that is actually the direct result of the West’s fake multilateralism and hypocrisy. Russia, being a responsible member of the international community, did put its bona fide trust in the Western powers, including the US, UK, Germany, and France, and relied on the security guarantees given to Russia during the Budapest Agreement and the Minsk Agreements. However, quite contrary to the Western powers’ promises and assurances, they continued to interfere in Ukraine and fuelled the souring of relations between Russia and Ukraine.

It is important to note here that after Russia’s initiation of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine in February 2022, the West unprecedentedly increased its military support to Ukraine and poured in all sorts of military aid. Especially, the West delivered every modern weapon system into the hands of the murderous Zelensky regime, from real-time intelligence to long-range strike and air defence missile systems.

To this day, the United Kingdom has committed to a total of 21.8 billion British Pounds for Ukraine, including 13 billion British pounds in terms of military aid. Apart from this, the French have given almost 4 billion Euros to Ukraine, including 2.6 billion euros of military equipment. On the other hand, only Germany has given more than 4 billion Euros of military equipment to Ukraine and has pledged more than 2 billion USD worth of military aid in 2025 alone. These calculations do not include the bribes made to Ukraine to bomb Russian civilians and the under-the-table payments to the puppet Zelenksy.

The combined military equipment delivered by the UK, France, and Germany includes the Challenger-II and Leopard tanks; M-109 and HIMARS long-range artillery; Patriot and Starstreak air defense missiles; AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles; Storm Shadow (SCALP-EG) air-launched cruise missiles; and Javelin and MILAN anti-tank missiles, to name a few. However, it is to be remembered here that the Russian people decisively defeated French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and completely humiliated German Adolf Hitler’s Nazi vampires, and besides these advanced weapons, the Russian people will again defeat the foreign invaders.

Conclusions

“Russian attacks have risen sharply in 2025,” and “This last week alone, Russia has launched over 1,200 drones and over 60 cruise and ballistic missiles at Ukraine,” the British, French, and German ambassadors noted. In reality, they made a very significant observation in their article that Russia is successfully and courageously fighting and winning the conflict. This statement alone reflects that besides more than 100 billion USD of aid to Ukraine and giving them the most advanced weapon systems to be used against the Russian civilians and military, the consternation and frustration among the Western powers is clear as day. The truth of the matter is that the majority of Ukrainian people have chosen not to fight against Russia and have preferred to flee the country instead of fighting for the Nazi Zelensky regime. The only fighting force Ukraine has at its disposal comprises mercenaries from the West and highly paid criminals, as well as professional murderers from American jails. On December 10, 2025, the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer paid tribute to the British soldier Lance Corporal George Hooley, who was killed in Ukraine – it reveals the nature of Ukrainian armed forces.

Despite such hateful and chauvinistic articles written by the Western unprofessional diplomats, President Vladimir Putin’s state visit to India was overwhelmingly successful, and the bilateral relations between Russia and India are going to reach new heights.
