The Hindu did a reverse image search using Google lens, which led us to a CNN web page containing the original clip, which was taken from the show, ‘The Lead with Jake Tapper’, dated November 12, 2019. We compared the clip with the viral post and established that the news ticker had been digitally altered. The original text read, “Top Russian official jokes about interfering in U.S. elections in 2020.” The official being cited was Sergey Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister.

Since the beginning of Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine on February 24, the Indian government, and large segments of the Indian public, have firmly been on Putin’s side. Hashtags like #IStandWithPutin and #istandwithrussia trended on Indian social media, and the Indian government demonstrated – perhaps most notably by refusing to support UN resolutions condemning the invasion – that it is not willing to jeopardise its strong ties with Russia over Putin’s actions in Ukraine.

India’s approach to the situation in Ukraine is hardly surprising or atypical. Since the establishment of diplomatic ties following India’s independence in 1947, relations between Moscow and New Delhi have been shaped by a “high degree of political and strategic trust”. Across the years, Russia and India routinely took similar stances and supported each other on contentious international issues.

Amid Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine and the Indian government's efforts to evacuate stranded Indian nationals from the war-torn country, a video of Russian President Vladimir Putin has gone viral on social media with some questionable claims.

The 29-second-long clip shared on Facebook and Twitter featured Putin speaking. The clip was shared with claims that the Russian leader had asked Pakistan to hand over the GilgitBaltistan region to India.

"Indian media won't show you this. But Putin called Pakistan occupied Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh a part of India. Putin also announced a veto in the Security Council on the Gilgit region. The Russian cabinet condemned BAP [Balochistan Awami Party] for passing a resolution on Gilgit in the Pak senate. He instructed Pakistan to hand over GilgitBaltistan to India and take the resolution back," read a caption sharing this viral clip.
