Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday that he supports a swift end to the grinding conflict in Ukraine after visiting the war-hit country.
Modi, 73, said he had “exchanged perspectives on the Russia-Ukraine conflict” with Putin and shared “my insights from the recent visit to Ukraine”, in a post on social media.
He said he had “reiterated India’s firm commitment to support an early, abiding and peaceful resolution of the conflict”. Modi visited Kyiv on Friday and told President Volodymyr Zelensky that “no problem should be solved on the battlefield.”
His chat with Putin comes a day after a call with US President Joe Biden, where Modi reiterated New Delhi’s “consistent position in favour of dialogue and diplomacy”, an Indian foreign ministry statement said.
India is part of the Quad grouping, with the United States, Japan and Australia, that positions itself against China’s growing influence in the Asia-Pacific region.
