NATIONAL Security Advisor Ajit Doval will hold key meetings in Moscow on Thursday with senior Russian officials to discuss defence co-operation, energy ties, and preparations for an upcoming summit here between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin, sources said.

Doval arrived in Moscow late Wednesday. The visit comes at a time of growing geopolitical friction, particularly after US President Donald Trump announced additional 25% levy on India for oil purchases from Russia, raising the total tariff burden on India to 50%, the highest on any US trade partner with the exception of Brazil.
