Why it matters: Across three meetings on October 31, India engaged Russia, Poland and South Korea on overlapping bilateral and multilateral agendas. The standout second-order detail is Poland’s full G20 participation following a U.S. invitation: Warsaw’s Ukraine and India-EU discussion with Jaishankar took place in the same forum where it seeks permanent membership.
