The Hindu also reported on the proposed US move to levy 100% tariffs on countries buying Russian crude oil, calling it 'illegal and unacceptable'. Both outlets mentioned the Su-57 aircraft sale and new nuclear plants as agenda items for the Modi-Putin talks. ### Centre - The Economic Times and Hindustan Times focused on the confirmation of President Putin's attendance at the BRICS Summit and his bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Modi. The Economic Times noted Russia's support for inviting new countries to join BRICS cooperation formats and mentioned India's theme for the 2026 chairmanship. Hindustan Times stated the summit would take place at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. ### Right - The Print, Latestly, Yonhap News Agency, Tribune India, aninews.in, Interfax.ru, India TV News, vz.ru, ABP News, and Times of India highlighted the confirmation of President Putin's bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Modi on Friday, September 11, 2026, ahead of the BRICS Summit. Several of these reports, including Latestly, Tribune India, and aninews.in, mentioned that 90% of Russia-BRICS transactions use national currencies to bypass sanctions. The Print and Interfax.ru also noted that the situation in Ukraine and international issues would be discussed.
