The jovial scenes between President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India, captured during the Indian leader’s first visit to Russia in five years, illustrated a sobering reality.

India, which has close ties to the United States, has emerged as the second-biggest importer of Russian oil after China in the years since the invasion.
