@Prakash, India and Russia are not good friends now because Russia joined CPEC which means they are supporting Pakistan and China. USA also wants India to leave Russia and buy stuff from them (USA). Russia is also going to join the new bloc of Pakistan,China and other Muslim countries. CPEC will benefit Russia a lot because it will be cheaper for Russia to export stuff through CPEC.
