Dates for Putin's India visit 'almost' finalised, says Ajit Doval
India and Russia have "almost" finalised the date for President Vladimir Putin's visit to India for the annual India-Russia summit, said NSA Ajit Doval during his visit to Moscow. Both sides had said last year Putin would travel to India in 2025 for the annual summit but they have not been able to confirm a date till now for what would be the president's first visit to India since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Official sources later said no specific time or date had been indicated by the NSA in his engagements. They also denied Russian media reports that Putin is coming in Aug. The leaders are likely to meet in any case this month on the margins of the SCO summit in Tianjin. Doval also called on Putin during his visit. "We are very excited to learn about the visit of President Putin to India. I think the dates are almost finalised. Summit-level meetings have always been watershed points that have given direction to the relationship," said Doval in a meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergey Shoigu in which they discussed energy and defence cooperation. Underscoring time-tested ties with India, the Russian official said Moscow is ready to work with India to form a just and sustainable world order and ensure the supremacy of international law. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If You Speak English, You Might be Eligible for Online MBA Courses in USA MBA Courses in USA | Search Ads Undo Putin's visit will also follow a US-India trade war that has been exacerbated further by US President Trump's efforts to force India to cut down energy and defence imports from Russia. With the Kremlin confirming that Putin and Trump are likely to meet in the "coming days", India is hoping Trump would be successful in brokering a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire that would take care also of some of the sticking points in India's ties with the US. Doval was briefed about US special envoy Steve Witkoff's talks with Putin that led to the announcement about a Trump-Putin meeting. EAM S Jaishankar is also scheduled to travel to Moscow soon. Doval expressed hope that the Modi-Putin summit would provide new directions for development of bilateral ties and produce a "tangible and substantial" outcome. Doval further said that under prevailing global uncertainties, the India-Russia old strategic and privileged partnership has got a very special role to play. He also thanked Russia for support after the Pahalgam terror attack. Shoigu was quoted as saying that for Moscow, the most important thing is to comprehensively strengthen the special privileged strategic partnership with India, which is based on "mutual respect, trust, equal consideration of each other's interests, and the desire to promote a unifying agenda".

Oligarch's Heirs Reveal US Fund Bets in Family Office Revamp
Badri Patarkatsishvili's family set up a firm to manage his multibillion-dollar fortune after the mustachioed Georgian tycoon died suddenly at his English mansion in 2008. As his heirs fended off opportunists seeking a slice of the billionaire's assets, the money manager kept a low profile, offering few details of how it handled the wealth he amassed alongside fellow oligarchs Boris Berezovsky and Roman Abramovich following the collapse of the Soviet Union. That's starting to change. The Patarkatsishvilis' family office, Bili Capital, has revealed more than two dozen bets on funds from some of the biggest names in global finance, including BlackRock Inc. and Ares Management Corp., on a recently launched website. Patarkatsishvili's 70-year-old widow, Inna, the de facto head of the family after his death, also ceded her stake in the firm within the past year, registry filings show. That move coincides with the resolution of a long-running legal battle over the fortune of Georgia's one-time richest man, and has separately led to Inna's son-in-law, Yevhen Hunyak, 51, becoming Bili Capital's only shareholder. As a result, a second-generation member is now in sole control of one of London's biggest — and historically most discreet — family offices for the first time. A representative for the Patarkatsishvili dynasty, who describe Bili Capital as a multi-generational family office overseeing more than $1 billion in assets, didn't respond to requests for comment. The disclosures give rare insight into one of the biggest fortunes to emerge from Russia's so-called 'wild '90s' as the country transitioned from communism to a market-based economy. They also make the once-secretive Bili Capital more transparent than many other family offices, whose public profiles often comprise a single-page website with little information. At least one-fifth of individuals among the world's 500 biggest fortunes now have a family office that help to oversee wealth totaling more than $4 trillion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Bili Capital's 'transparency on what they're doing makes them much more accessible, and relatable, to the outside world,' said David Hawkins, founder of Cliveden Advisory, a strategic consulting and reputation-management firm for ultra-wealthy individuals. 'They likely want to do more deals.' Bili Capital's other fund allocations include Silicon Valley venture capital giant Andreessen Horowitz, index-fund pioneer Vanguard and Mubadala-backed Fortress Investment Group. It also oversees direct stakes in a Georgia theme park, a mineral-water company and a real estate developer serving Miami's Fisher Island enclave for the ultra-wealthy. Patarkatsishvili began to build his fortune in the early 1990s when he teamed up with Berezovsky, one of the most influential oligarchs of that decade, to run car dealership LogoVaz. The pair later partnered with Abramovich to help establish Russian oil giant Sibneft out of state-owned assets, with Berezovsky leveraging his Kremlin connections and Patarkatsishvili keeping business relations running smoothly behind the scenes. 'Berezovsky was the public face of their alliance, while Badri was the muscle,' said David Lingelbach, who headed Bank of America Corp.'s Russian operations during the 1990s and is now a professor of entrepreneurship at the University of Baltimore. 'He's such an interesting oligarch as everything about him was so opaque. He was one of the most powerful — if not the most powerful – person in Georgia.' In 2001, Abramovich acquired the Sibneft stakes owned by Patarkatsishvili and Berezovsky for more than $1 billion after their relationship with the Kremlin soured. Berezovsky later tried unsuccessfully to sue Abramovich over that deal in one of London's most high-profile legal battles, before he was found dead at his own English mansion in 2013. Abramovich is worth $7.8 billion today, according to Bloomberg's wealth index. Bili Capital's revamp comes after years of battles over the patriarch's assets have receded, freeing his heirs to focus on what's left of the fortune. Since his death, the family has been entangled in several cases, including a $3 billion claim in 2008 by Berezovsky, who alleged that a portion of his former business partner's holdings — often stashed in secretive tax havens — rightfully belonged to him. Berezovsky withdrew his claim four years later, while the family also successfully fended off a distant relative positioning themselves as Patarkatsishvili's heir. Another case dating to 2016 wrapped up this year at the UK's highest court. By some estimates, the family has recovered at least $2 billion of Patarkatsishvili's assets, though that's just a fraction of what his overall wealth was believed to be at the time of his death. Founded in December 2008, Bili Capital is led by Chief Executive Officer Sergey Ershikov and Chief Financial Officer Ilia Demidov, who both previously worked at Russian lender Alfa-Bank. Like other family offices, the closely held firm isn't regulated as it doesn't manage money for external investors, limiting transparency requirements. Allocating to funds instead of striking deals under its own name also allows it to keep a low profile, while its longtime holding entity is in Jersey, a low-tax territory neighboring the UK that offers exemptions from publicly disclosing consolidated accounts. A 2022 job posting for Bili Capital cited further assets including a yacht, a fleet of vehicles and several European homes, underscoring how the firm caters to both the financial affairs and jet-setting lifestyle of its owners. The online post also described the firm developing a 'branding' strategy, signaling how it has been considering its public image for years. 'Reputational capital is important,' said Hawkins, who also advises family offices. 'It's a necessary form of insurance.' In a section entitled 'Meet our family,' Bili Capital's website features a black-and-white image of Inna accompanied in a countryside setting by her two daughters: Liana, 45, the founder of an arts production company, and Iya, 42, a human rights activist. Iya's husband Hunyak, the co-founder of a private children's dental group and Bili Capital's sole shareholder since September, stands to the right of the three women with a small gap between them. The group are all smiling, with no trace of their past traumas. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
