External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will visit Moscow on August 20-21, where he will hold talks with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov. 

The visit comes days after the United States imposed an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods in response to New Delhi's continued purchase of Russian oil.

On August 9, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a detailed conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin amid the trade uncertainty and tariff announcements. 

Both the leaders discussed developments in Ukrain, with Prime Minister Modi reiterating India's consistent position for a peaceful resolution.
