This article discusses how India’s strategic community has perceived Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine from February 2022 to the time of writing (October 2025). The sources analysed for this case study are commentaries from the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (MP IDSA), a public think tank under the Indian Ministry of Defence. The text focuses on how Indian authors perceived Russian military actions against Ukraine and the conclusions they drew from these observations, including their views on New Delhi-Moscow relations.
