NEW DELHI: Hours after US President Donald Trump ’s departure from India, two other 'guests’ whose presence is certain to raise eyebrows, more so in Washington perhaps, will land in Delhi. The two, who will not officially be hosted by India, are Georgy Muradov and Irina Kiviko , the deputy PM and finance minister respectively of Crimea , which was annexed by Russia from Ukraine in 2014 leading to sanctions imposed by the US and EU on Russia.Sources told ToI that the two leaders were not official guests and they were here only for exploring trade and investment opportunities. ``No Indian leader will hold a meeting with them. The visit is not official. It’s exploratory in nature,’’ said a source, while confirming their visit. Both Muradov and Kiviko are Russian nationals.He added that the timing of their arrival had nothing to do with Trump’s visit. Significantly, Russian Senator and deputy head of the committee for international affairs Andrey Klimov will also visit India next week.Russian President Vladimir Putin has himself in the past himself expressed appreciation for India’s ``restrained and objective’’ position on Crime/ Ukraine. Then NSA Shivshankar Menon had famously said in 2014 that there were legitimate Russian and other interests involved and that India hoped they would be discussed and resolved. The Modi government too has stood by Russia on the issue despite Moscow’s isolation by the West.The presence of Muradov and Kiviko is unlikely to go unnoticed in the US though. Crimea leader Sergei Aksyonov in 2014 had mysteriously appeared in Delhi in December 2014 after he managed to travel in a plane packed with Russian officials who were accompanying Putin to Delhi for his summit with Modi. India had then clarified that Aksyonov was not a part of Putin’s delegation even though he signed an MoU with Indian businessman.The State Department was quick to react though, saying the US was troubled that Aksyonov had appeared in India possibly as a part of Putin’s delegation and that it had sought a clarification from India on that.Sources said the two senior leaders from Crimea might also want to discuss a possible visit by an Indian cultural delegation. Muradov has been a controversial figure for the Americans as he has encouraged Iran to defy US sanctions by using Crimea’s port facilities to export oil. The two leaders are expected to visit Delhi and Mumbai during their two-day stay in India.
