    “…its war on Ukraine.”

    Brand new bullshit. Never heard this framing before.

      “it” referring to Russia. Are you denying that Russia is at war with Ukraine on Ukraine?

      Modi has made his first visit to Russia since the start of Russia’s war on Ukraine.

        A war on something usually refers to a concept it an ideology in order to eradicate it. Russia is not at war against Ukraine’s existence, it’s a war of self defence to neuter the endless US/NATO provocations.
