Ukrainian President Zelenskyy reveals 43,000 military deaths and 370,000 injuries since Russia's invasion. Amid escalating human costs, Zelensky advocates for enduring peace with robust international security guarantees.

Zelenskyy Acknowledges Heavy Ukrainian Losses Amid Russia Conflict

In a rare and sobering admission, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that approximately 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers have lost their lives since Russia's full-scale invasion began in February 2022.

In a rare and sobering admission, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that approximately 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers have lost their lives since Russia's full-scale invasion began in February 2022. This candid revelation highlights the grave human cost of the ongoing conflict. In a social media post, Zelenskyy also reported 370,000 injuries among Ukrainian forces. However, he clarified that this figure included soldiers who had been injured multiple times, as well as incidents of minor injuries.&nbsp;
The disclosure marks a significant increase from previous estimates disclosed by President Zelenskyy. The last official update, given in February of this year, placed Ukrainian fatalities at 31,000&mdash;a number which underscores the increasing toll the war has taken on the nation.&nbsp;
While both Kyiv and Moscow have frequently published estimates concerning the losses suffered by the opposing side, both have historically been reticent to provide detailed accounts of their own casualties. Yet recent events appear to have compelled Zelensky to offer a more transparent assessment. This move follows comments from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who took to social media to highlight what he claimed were Ukraine's "ridiculously" high death tolls, suggesting that 400,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been lost alongside approximately 600,000 Russian casualties. Trump, who has consistently expressed a desire to expedite the end of the war, criticized the needless loss of life, although he did not specify the source of his figures.
Zelenskyy has remained firm amidst conflicting narratives and international pressure, with his estimates of Russian losses aligning closely with those of senior Western officials. It is believed that Russia has endured around 800,000 casualties, comprising both deaths and injuries. The UK Ministry of Defence reported that Russia suffered 45,680 casualties in November alone, remarking that this was the highest monthly toll since the invasion's inception. UK Defence Intelligence further suggests that an average of 1,523 Russian soldiers are either killed or injured daily, with single-day losses exceeding 2,000 men as of late November.
The Kremlin has issued rebuttals to these figures, claiming that Ukrainian losses far exceed Russian casualties. Nevertheless, international consensus outside of Russia largely maintains that Russian loss figures are considerably higher, attributed largely to the Kremlin's so-called "meat grinder" tactics that deploy large numbers of troops with high casualty rates.
Amidst these grim statistics, the conflict grinds on with no end in sight. Russian forces have been making incremental advances along the eastern front, capturing approximately 2,350 square kilometers of territory within Ukraine and Russia's Kursk region this year. Conversely, Ukrainian forces have managed to retain control over a small portion of Russian territory, acquired during a surprise offensive.
Zelenskyy mentioned Ukrainian casualties amidst a broader discussion on the prospect of ending the war. After recent discussions in Paris with French President Emmanuel Macron and incoming U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, Zelensky emphasized the importance of any peace deal being backed by robust international security guarantees. He has called for an "enduring peace" that cannot easily be upended by Moscow.
Trump, who has repeatedly stated his confidence in his ability to conclude the war "in a day," has yet to outline a specific plan. His calls for an immediate ceasefire have been met by the Kremlin with a conditional openness to negotiation. The conditions laid out by Russian President Vladimir Putin in June include demands for Ukraine to cede additional territory and abandon its NATO ambitions&mdash;terms that Kyiv continues to reject.
At a critical juncture in global geopolitics, Ukraine's plea for lasting peace and security guarantees resonates as the battle lines are drawn not only on the fields of Eastern Europe but also through the complex web of international diplomacy.

The US State Department said that apart from using chemical agent chloropicrin, Russia also used "riot control agents as a method of warfare in Ukraine.

US accuses Russia of using 'chemical weapon' in Ukraine

The US State Department said that apart from using chemical agent chloropicrin, Russia also used "riot control agents as a method of warfare in Ukraine.

The US State Department accused Russia Wednesday of having used a chemical weapon against Ukrainian forces in violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention, while also announcing fresh sanctions against Moscow.
In addition to the chemical agent chloropicrin, Russia also used "riot control agents (tear gas) as a method of warfare in Ukraine, also in violation of the CWC," the department said in a factsheet.
"The use of such chemicals is not an isolated incident, and is probably driven by Russian forces' desire to dislodge Ukrainian forces from fortified positions and achieve tactical gains on the battlefield," the State Department said.
Meanwhile the US Treasury Department announced sweeping sanctions aimed at crippling Russia's military and industrial capabilities -- including targeting nearly 300 entities in Russia, China and other countries accused of supporting President Vladimir Putin's invasion.
The sanctions are meant to punish companies that help Moscow acquire weapons for its war in Ukraine. They also target Russian government entities and companies involved in the country's chemical and biological weapons programs.
Russia has said it no longer possesses a military chemical arsenal, but the country faces pressure for more transparency over the alleged use of toxic weapons.
According to the US National Institutes of Health, the chemical chloropicrin is used both as a warfare agent and pesticide. If inhaled, it poses a health risk.
&nbsp;
- 'Sand in the gears' - &nbsp;
"Today's actions will further disrupt and degrade Russia's war efforts by going after its military industrial base and the evasion networks that help supply it," Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a statement.
The accusations and sanctions come a week after US President Joe Biden signed a much-delayed bill to provide new funding for Ukraine as Kyiv's military struggles to hold back Russian advances.
"Even as we're throwing sand in the gears of Russia's war machine, President (Joe) Biden's recently-passed National Security Supplemental is providing badly-needed military, economic, and humanitarian support to bolster Ukraine's courageous resistance," Yellen said.
"Combined, our support for Ukraine and our relentless targeting of Russia's military capacity is giving Ukraine a critical leg-up on the battlefield."
As part of the measures, the State Department blacklisted additional individuals and companies involved in Moscow's energy, mining and metals sectors.
The sanctions also targeted individuals connected to the death of Russian opposition leader Aleksey Navalny who died in a Siberian prison in February.
The almost 300 targets sanctioned included dozens of actors accused of enabling Russia to acquire desperately needed technology and equipment from abroad, the Treasury said.
Some of those targeted were based in countries such as China that have faced increasing pressure from Washington over support for Russia during its 15-month invasion of Ukraine.
"This support enables Russia to continue its war against Ukraine and poses a significant threat to international security," the Treasury Department said.
Other than China, targeted non-Russian entities were located in Azerbaijan, Belgium, Slovakia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates.
These companies "enable Russia to acquire desperately-needed technology and equipment from abroad," the statement said.

Russia's FSB security service and Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, have insinuated Kyiv's involvement in the attack.

Kyiv wary as Russia links gunmen of Moscow concert hall attack to Ukraine 

Russia's FSB security service and Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, have insinuated Kyiv's involvement in the attack.

As Russia grapples with one of its worst terror attacks in history, the ruling establishment has been suspiciously eying Ukraine's involvement.
In a statement issued separately by Russia's FSB security service and Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, both have insinuated Kyiv's involvement in the attack. While FSB claimed that the assailants of the Moscow concert hall terror attack had contacts in Ukraine and were trying to flee there, Medvedev vowed to retaliate strongly if Ukraine's involvement is discovered.
"After committing the terrorist attack, the criminals intended to cross the Russian-Ukrainian border, and had appropriate contacts on the Ukrainian side," the state-run TASS news agency quoted the FSB as saying, after it announced 11 arrests over the attack.
"Terrorists understand only retaliatory terror," Medvedev said according to according to Russian-state media TASS News.
"No courts will help if force is not countered by force, and deaths by total executions of terrorists and repressions against their families," he said.
"If it is established that these are terrorists of the Kyiv regime, it is impossible to do otherwise. All of them must be found and mercilessly destroyed as terrorists, including officials of the state that committed such an atrocity."
The Ukrainian foreign ministry strongly, however, firmly rejected these claims saying that these are planned provocations to further fuel anti-Ukrainian hysteria in Russian society.
Ukraine said it viewed any such allegation "to be a planned provocation by the Kremlin to further fuel anti-Ukrainian hysteria in Russian society, create conditions for increased mobilisation of Russian citizens to participate in the criminal aggression against our country and discredit Ukraine in the eyes of the international community".
Meanwhile, Russia has arrested 11 people -- including all four assailants -- over Friday's deadly attack on a concert hall, Russian news agencies reported on Saturday.
The head of the FSB security service informed Russian President Vladimir Putin "about the detention of 11 people, including all four terrorists directly involved in carrying out the attack," Russian state news agencies cited the Kremlin as saying in a statement.

The attack reported Sunday is the latest in a series of recent drone assaults that Moscow has blamed on Kyiv.

Moscow airport shut after drone attack damages buildings: reports

Elon Musk predicts Russian victory in ongoing Ukraine war

Tesla CEO Elon Musk makes a pro-Russia statement saying, 'Ukraine may lose more territory if its counteroffensive fails.'

Tesla CEO Elon Musk makes a pro-Russia statement saying, 'Ukraine may lose more territory if its counteroffensive fails.'

Ukraine will lose more territory if its counteroffensive fails, Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted on July 10. "Should a Ukrainian offensive fail with heavy casualties, a Russian counterattack would capture a lot more territory. This is why there has been no major offensive," the tweet reads.
According to Musk Russia &ldquo;would win a war of attrition&rdquo; as its troops heavily outnumber Ukrainians. He also tried to highlight the futility of war by writing, &ldquo;The flower of Ukrainian &amp; Russian youth are dying in trenches, with no meaningful change in territory.&rdquo;
In October 2022,&nbsp; Musk had outlined a peace plan which was criticised by the Ukrainian authorities who accused him of echoing Russian demands.
&nbsp;

Meanwhile, Ukraine's military reported that the most intense fighting continued in Ukraine's industrial east, with attacks focused around Bakhmut, Marinka and Lyman in the country's Donetsk province, where 46 combat clashes took place.

After a lull of 12 days, Russia launches first overnight drone strike on Kyiv

Meanwhile, Ukraine's military reported that the most intense fighting continued in Ukraine's industrial east, with attacks focused around Bakhmut, Marinka and Lyman in the country's Donetsk province, where 46 combat clashes took place.

After a relative lull, Russia launched a drone attack early on Sunday on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, officials said. It was the first such attack of the war in 12 days.
All of the Iranian-made Shahed exploding drones were detected and shot down, according to Serhii Popko, the head of the Kyiv city administration.
In addition to the city itself, the surrounding Kyiv region was targeted. Kyiv regional Gov. Ruslan Kravchenko reported that one person was wounded by falling debris from a destroyed drone.
Officials in the Ukrainian capital didn't provide an exact number of drones that attacked the city. But Ukraine's air force said that across the country, eight Shaheds and three Kalibr cruise missiles were launched by the Russians.
Further south, a 13-year-old boy was wounded in overnight shelling of Ukraine's partially occupied southern Kherson province, said Oleksandr Tolokonnikov, spokesman for the Ukrainian administration of the province.

"We are inside the (army) headquarters, it is 7:30 am (0430 GMT)," Prigozhin said in a video on Telegram. "Military sites in Rostov, including an aerodrome, are under control," he added.

Ukraine war: Mercenary group chief says he is inside Rostov army HQ, controls city's military sites

"We are inside the (army) headquarters, it is 7:30 am (0430 GMT)," Prigozhin said in a video on Telegram. "Military sites in Rostov, including an aerodrome, are under control," he added.

The head of Wagner mercenary group Yevgeny Prigozhin announced Saturday that he was inside the army headquarters in Rostov-on-Don in southern Russia and that his fighters controlled the city's military sites.
Prigozhin earlier said his forces had crossed into Russia from the Ukrainian front, vowing to topple Russia's military leadership, saying he and thousands of his fighters were "ready to die."
Russia's military headquarters in Rostov-on-Don are a key logistical base for its offensive in Ukraine.
"We are inside the (army) headquarters, it is 7:30 am (0430 GMT)," Prigozhin said in a video on Telegram. "Military sites in Rostov, including an aerodrome, are under control," he added.
He said that planes taking part in the Ukraine offensive "are leaving as normal" from the airfield.
"We took (the aerodrome) under control so that the attack aviation did not strike us, but strike Ukrainians," Prigozhin said.
He called on Russians not to believe what they are being told on state television.
"When they tell you that PMC Wagner interfered with work and that's why something on the front collapsed.. Things on the front collapsed not for this reason," he said, addressing Russians.
"A huge amount of territory is lost. Soldiers have been killed, three, four times more than what it says in documents shown to the top (leadership)."
Prigozhin claimed Russia's Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov "ran away from here when he found out that we are approaching the building."
Authorities in Rostov have urged residents to stay at home.
Russia opened a criminal case against Prigozhin, accusing him of trying to start an "armed rebellion."

Wagner mercenaries enter Russia: It's just beginning says Ukrainian leader

Wagner mercenary group launched a rebellion against Vladimir Putin and Russia on Saturday.&nbsp;

Kyiv on Saturday said events were "just beginning" in Russia, as Russian Wagner mercenaries crossed from occupied Ukraine into Russia to stage a rebellion, 16 months into the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine.
"Everything is just beginning in Russia," presidential aide Mykhailo Podolyak said on Twitter. "The split between the elites is too obvious. Agreeing and pretending that everything is settled won't work."

Putin said the weapons were meant as deterrence to 'those who are thinking of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia'.

Russia has sent nuclear arms to its ally Belarus, Putin confirms

Putin said the weapons were meant as deterrence to 'those who are thinking of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia'.

President Vladimir Putin on Friday confirmed Russia had sent nuclear arms to Belarus which borders Ukraine.
'The first nuclear warheads were delivered to the territory of Belarus. This is the first part', Putin told an annual economic forum in &nbsp;St Petersburg.
Belarus is a key Russian ally and served as a launchpad for Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February last year.&nbsp;
Putin's announcement had spurred fears of nuclear conflict, but experts and governments said it was unlikely it would change the course of the conflict.

 Victory Day parade: Putin delivers this message to Russian soldiers

Putin welcomed soldiers fighting in Ukraine who were present at the parade. His remarks came shortly after the Russian forces rained cruise missiles on Ukrainian targets.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday told his country's Victory Day parade on Moscow's Red Square that &ldquo;a real war&rdquo; has been unleashed against Russia by the West's &ldquo;untamed ambitions,&rdquo; shortly after the Kremlin's forces rained cruise missiles on Ukrainian targets.
&ldquo;Today civilisation is once again at a decisive turning point,&rdquo; Putin said at Moscow's annual commemorations celebrating the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. &ldquo;A real war has been unleashed against our Motherland.&rdquo; Since Russia invaded its neighbour more than 14 months ago, Putin has repeatedly framed the war in Ukraine as a proxy conflict with the West. The Kremlin's official narrative of the war has painted a picture of an existential conflict with the West, which in Moscow's view is merely using Ukraine as a tool to destroy Russia, re-write its history and crush its traditional values. That version of events has dominated Russian state media coverage of the war.
In his speech, Putin insisted that the West's &ldquo;untamed ambitions, arrogance and impunity&rdquo; are to blame for the conflict.
Putin welcomed soldiers fighting in Ukraine who were present at the parade. &ldquo;To Russia! To our brave armed forces! To Victory!&rdquo; Putin concluded the speech.
Russia unleashed a barrage of cruise missiles on Ukraine overnight into Tuesday, hours before the start of the Moscow parade, which this year is taking place amid tight security measures.
The Kremlin's forces launched 25 missiles overnight in a wave of attacks across Ukraine, the Ukrainian air force said, adding that air defense had successfully destroyed 23 of them.
In a Telegram post, the air force said eight Kalibr cruise missiles were launched from carriers in the Black Sea toward the east and 17 from strategic aircraft.
The barrage came as Moscow and other cities hosted military parades and other festivities marking Victory Day, Russia's biggest secular holiday that this year has been significantly overshadowed by the war in Ukraine.
At least 21 Russian cities canceled May 9 military parades &mdash; the staple of celebrations across Russia &mdash; for the first time in years. The Immortal Regiment processions, in which crowds take to the streets holding portraits of relatives who died or served in World War II &mdash; another pillar of the holiday &mdash; have also been canceled in multiple cities.
Regional officials blamed unspecified &ldquo;security concerns.&rdquo; Some speculated, however, that the reason behind canceling Immortal Regiment marches was the fact that Russians might bring portraits of relatives who died in Ukraine to those processions, illustrating the scale of Russia's losses in the drawn-out conflict.
Moscow was expected to project a show of force during its flagship parade on Red Square, with top-notch military equipment rumbling through it and leaders of ex-Soviet nations standing beside President Vladimir Putin.
Initially, only one of them &mdash; Kyrgyz President Sadyr Zhaparov &mdash; was expected to attend, but at the last minute on Monday, officials confirmed that leaders of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan were heading to Moscow as well.
The pared-down celebrations come after ambiguous official reports last week that two Ukrainian drones flew into the heart of Moscow under the cover of darkness and reached the Kremlin before being shot down. The Kremlin billed it as an attempt at Putin's life; Ukraine denied involvement.&nbsp;

Known for his bluster, Prigozhin has previously made unverifiable claims and made threats he hasn't carried out.

Russia-Ukraine war: Wagner boss threatens to pull troops out of Bakhmut

Known for his bluster, Prigozhin has previously made unverifiable claims and made threats he hasn't carried out.

The owner of Russia's Wagner Group military contractor threatened on Friday to pull his troops out of the protracted battle for the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut next week, accusing Russia's military command of starving his forces of ammunition and causing them heavy losses.
Yevgeny Prigozhin, a notorious millionaire with longtime links to Russian President Vladimir Putin, claimed that Wagner had planned to capture Bakhmut by May 9.
That day is a major Russian holiday marking the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II.
But, Prigozhin said, his force hasn't received enough artillery ammunition supplies from the Russian military since Monday.
Known for his bluster, Prigozhin has previously made unverifiable claims and made threats he hasn't carried out.

Russia strikes Ukraine in fresh offensive, 5 children among 26 dead

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the latest offensive and vowed a response.

Russian strikes battered cities across Ukraine on Friday, killing 26 people including five children, as Kyiv said preparations for a counter-offensive against Moscow's forces were nearly complete.
The deadly new attacks included a strike on a residential block in the historic city of Uman in central Ukraine, where AFP journalists saw rescue workers extracting victims' remains from a destroyed residential building.
The barrage of almost two dozen missiles ended a weeks-long pause following the repeated Russian strikes that had aimed to paralyse Ukraine's energy grid during the winter months.
On Friday evening, workers in Uman, the site of an annual Hasidic pilgrimage, pulled the body of another child from under the rubble. Authorities said Russian cruise missiles killed 23 people -- including four children -- in Uman.
Earlier in the day, Dmitry, a 33-year-old resident from Lugansk, an eastern city under Russian control, was looking for his children.
"I want to see my children, they are under the rubble," he said.
Rescuers were using cranes to search for survivors among the remains of the multi-storey housing block in the city of 80,000 inhabitants.
"I've seen a lot, but I haven't lost my children before. Now I want to see my children, alive or dead," Dmitry said.
Russian missiles also hit the central city of Dnipro, already grief-stricken after a January strike on a tower block that killed more than 40 people.
Authorities said the strikes in Dnipro killed a 31-year-old woman and her two-year-old daughter while they slept.
The young woman's parents were hospitalised.
"Neighbours say that it was a quiet and kind family," regional authorities said.
Separately, authorities in the southern region of Kherson said on Friday evening that Russian forces shelled the village of Bilozerka, killing a 57-year-old woman and wounding another three people.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the latest barrage and vowed a response.
"Only absolute evil can unleash such terror against Ukraine," he said in his evening address.
His advisor Mykhaylo Podolyak tweeted: "If you don't want THIS spread around the world, then give us weapons. Lots of weapons. And add sanctions."
Moscow said it had targeted reserve units of the Ukrainian military and that "all assigned objects were hit".
Moscow-installed officials in eastern Ukraine said Ukrainian shelling had killed nine people, including an eight-year-old girl in the city of Donetsk.

One year of Russia's invasion of Ukraine: the impact on world economy 

One year since Russia invaded Ukraine, the war continues and there seems to be no end in sight.&nbsp; Economies around the world are still facing the impact of the war. Here's a look at what the global economic ramifications of the war have been.&nbsp;

Its exactly one year since Russia invaded Ukraine. Russian President Putin called it a 'special military operation'. One year on, the war continues and there is no end in sight. As per reports atleast 150,000 people on each side have died. The ecnomic ramifications have also been immense. Ukraine itself has seen economic output contract about over 30%. Not just Ukraine, over the past year, the war has caused multiple shocks to the global economy. As per estimates, the war could cost the global economy about $2.8 trillion in terms of lost output. Russia and Ukraine together constitue a large part of the world's energy and food supply. The war&nbsp; disrupted wheat, barley and cooking oil supplies from Ukraine and Russia, to Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia.
Infact both countries account for 25% of the world's wheat imports. In fact, Ukraine, known as "breadbasket of the world", was unable to continue with its supplies, sending food prices soaring across the world.&nbsp;
The spikes in energy and food prices led to inflation spiking to a multi-decade high of 9% in the U.S. and over 10% in Europe. The Food and Agriculture Organization says its food price index reached a record high in 2022, up by 14.3% from 2021.
Supply chain disruptions, which were still prevalent from the pandemic, once again saw a set back. As a result, there was a spike in both food and energy prices.&nbsp;
However, now, supply chains have returned to pre-war levels. As per Moneycontrol, the Baltic Dry Index was as high as 5,650 in early October 2021 before it fell to under 1,300 by the end of January 2022. However, the Russia-Ukraine war pushed the index over 3,000 by May 2022. It has since collapsed to under 1,000. This index measures the average price of shipping dry bulk across several routes and is considered a lead indicator of economic activity.
The World Bank has warned that the global economy could slip into recession in 2023.

Ukraine President Zelensky seeks 800 million euros in urgent energy sector aid

Zelensky said that Ukraine needed transformers, equipment to repair damaged high-voltage power lines, as well as generators and gas turbines.

Zelensky said that Ukraine needed transformers, equipment to repair damaged high-voltage power lines, as well as generators and gas turbines

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told an international aid conference on Tuesday that Ukraine needed emergency aid for its energy sector totalling around 800 million euros.
"Of course it is a very high amount, but the cost is less than the cost of a potential blackout," Zelensky told the gathering in Paris via video link. "I hope that decisions will be made accordingly."
Zelensky said that Ukraine needed transformers, equipment to repair damaged high-voltage power lines, as well as generators and gas turbines.

"Because of the destruction of our power plants by terror attacks we will need to use more gas this winter than expected," he added.
This would require the import of two billion cubic metres of gas over the winter as well as major electricity imports from EU neighbours, he added.
Ukraine has been linked up to the common European power network since June after ending its connection to the Russian and Belarus grids.
"Generators have become as necessary as armoured vehicles and bullet-proof jackets," Zelensky added.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal also appealed for help from the 70 states and international agencies gathered in Paris for the "Standing with the Ukrainian People" conference.
"We are buying and looking for energy equipment all over the world and we ask the international community to help Ukraine," he said.
"They (Russians) want to put us into darkness and it will fail, thanks to our partners all over the world," he added.
Moscow has switched tactics since October when it began airstrikes targeting Ukraine's energy network, plunging millions into cold and darkness at the onset of winter.

As the war in Ukraine enters into nine months, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will begin his two-day Russia visit on Monday to hold talks with the country's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, in continuation of the regular high-level dialogue between the two sides.
Talks between the two sides are expected to cover the entire range of bilateral issues and exchange views on various regional and international developments.
S Jaishankar is scheduled to meet Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation and Minister of Trade and Industry, Denis Manturov, his counterpart for the India-Russia Inter-Governmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technological and Cultural Cooperation (IRIGC-TEC).
"Issues pertaining to bilateral economic cooperation in various domains will be discussed," the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) release said in an earlier release.
S Jaishankar's visit follows Russian President Vladimir Putin's praise of Indians. Marking the occasion of Russia's Unity Day on November 4, Putin said India has much potential with no doubts that it will achieve outstanding results in terms of development.
"India will achieve outstanding results in terms of its development - there are no doubts - and almost one-and-a-half billion people: now that's potential," the Russian President said, according to a Reuters translation of the speech originally delivered in Russian.
Since the start of the Ukraine conflict earlier this year, India's bilateral ties with Russia have come under the scanner of the West for a surge in oil imports from the sanction-hit Moscow. The war in Ukraine which has continued for more than eight months has had a significant impact on global food security and has led to a sudden increase in crude prices.
India has not condemned Russia since the start of the conflict and maintained its independent position. On several UN forums, New Delhi has consistently called for a cessation of violence and advocated the path of peace and diplomacy.

The attack comes two days after Russia accused Ukraine of a drone attack against Russia's Black Sea Fleet off the coast of the annexed Crimean peninsula, a claim which Ukraine had denied.
