There’s two threats: China and Russia. Europe and US are part of NATO, so Russia isn’t really a threat per se. But China is actually a threat, with its huge economy and military. India is nowhere near Europe. This whole military exercise will be to better prepare for China, not Russia. The Indo-Pacific region. So I still don’t understand your point with “It is not in India’s interest to fight Russia”.

I just don’t think that the quote implies they’re looking at Russia only. To me, it says “we got a wake up call with that Russian invasion, so now we’re going to look at our defence relations.” And it doesn’t make sense to talk about expanding relations in the Indo-Pacific and the threat that China poses, if it was just about defending against Russia. Oh well

Yeah I don’t think India holding joint military exercises with Germany and France in the Indo-pacific region has anything to do with Russia. But I guess we can just disagree
