Why is Russia suddenly afraid of India's nuclear ascension? - Break the Fake - TVP WORLD



Russian state TV is suddenly anxious – and the reason isn’t Ukraine or NATO. It’s India.

As New Delhi rapidly expands its nuclear energy sector, Kremlin propagandists are struggling to explain why Russia’s so-called “nuclear superpower” status may be slipping. While Moscow relies on Indian oil purchases to keep its economy afloat, India is quietly becoming a technological rival rather than a junior partner.

In this episode of Break The Fake, Jonasz Rewiński breaks down why this shift is triggering visible panic on Russian television – and why, without foreign money, Russia’s nuclear ambitions may exist mostly in propaganda monologues.
