The BBC's Arunadho Mukherjee reporting from Delhi.

Now, with more analysis on this story, our Russia editor Steve Rosenberg looks closely at the relationship between Russia and India.

I think certainly the Indian authorities have tried to balance throughout the Ukraine war, but India sees Russia as an important partner.

There is this strategic partnership between the two countries.

And when Russia looks at India, it sees first and foremost this huge potential market that

a billion and a half population, a fast-growing economy, a market it can sell its goods to and its natural resources.

And in a sense, India buying Russian oil the last few years has been a lifeline for the Russian economy.

So the Russians want that to continue, despite the pressure India is coming under from the United States.

because whenever Vladimir Putin goes abroad on a state visit, whether it's to India or whether it's to China, the Kremlin can use this and turns to the West and says, the West tried to isolate Russia, it slapped sanctions on Russia, it tried to turn President Putin into a pariah after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

But look, there are plenty of countries, Russia would argue, and powerful countries who want to do business with Russia still.

Next, journalists in the US have faced restrictions on reporting on the military since October.

The rules require Pentagon reporters to sign a pledge which includes only reporting information authorised by officials.

Now the New York Times is suing the US Department of Defence.

Our global affairs reporter Mimi Swaby told me more.

These rules from the Pentagon, which came into effect in October, essentially require reporters to sign a pretty lengthy 21-page form that sets out limits on journalistic activity when it comes to reporting on the US military.

And this includes requesting for story tips as well as inquiries to sources.
