First things first. First Crimea, then 10-year oil delivery contract and 12 nuclear energy blocks. The Crimea agreement with New Delhi will boost joint projects in “engineering, pharmaceuticals, agriculture and tourism to information technology, microelectronics and industrial parks”, said a Russian government press release. Russian President Vladimir Putin met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday in the Indian capital where the two sides inked crucial energy deals, including Rosneft’s 10-year oil delivery contract of 10 million tons per year with India. Russia and India have agreed on the construction of at least 12 new nuclear energy blocks within the next 20 years. This includes two new blocks for the existing Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant in India’s southern state of Tamil Nadu in 2016.
