Russia removed some Flags from it's Rocket, but Indian flag is still there
In the war between Russia and Ukraine, Western nations besieged Russia together. Although Western nations have refused to send troops to Ukraine, sanctions against Russia have continued. In response, Russia has removed most of the country's flags from its Rocket. Dmitry Rogozin, general director of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, shared a video on Twitter in which flags are being removed off the rocket. However, the Indian flag on the Russian rocket is still there.
In Rogozin's video, Russia could be seen waving American, British and Japanese flags on its rocket. All three countries have imposed severe economic sanctions on Russia because it Invaded Ukraine. The Indian flag on the rocket is still perfect. India has refused to participate in a referendum on Russia's condemnation by the United Nations. Although a total of 141 countries, including the West, voted in favor of the decision.

Rogozin wrote in his tweet, 'Baikonur photographers have decided that our rocket will look very good without the flags of some countries.' From this it can be understood how much tension between Russia and Western countries after the war in Ukraine. Many Indian students are also trapped in the war, and the Indian government is still in the process of expelling them. Ukraine Railways uses free emergency trains for students to travel, while Russia is also cooperating with India's expulsion operation 'Operation Ganga'.
A Russian military general said on Thursday that 130 buses had been scheduled to evacuate Indian students and other foreign nationals trapped in the Ukrainian cities of Kharkiv and Sumy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday and discussed the safe removal of Indians from conflict zones in Ukraine.
