Narendra Modi personally delivered “India’s message” to the dictator of the Russian Federation.
During a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi stressed the need to end the war in Ukraine. The leaders met in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, where the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit is taking place.
Narendra Modi emphasized that every day of the war inflicts harm on humanity, so it is essential to work toward ending the hostilities. According to him, India will continue to support peace talks between Ukraine and Russia.
“We need to move from endless war to its end. That is India’s message. We need an end to the war, not its continuation,” — the Indian prime minister said.
Earlier, in late July, the president of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev during a meeting with Putin also called for a freeze on the Russian-Ukrainian war and a return to negotiations. However, Putin’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, responded by stating that, given Kyiv’s position, it is impossible to freeze the conflict. According to him, Russia’s main condition remains the achievement of its stated goals.
